It has all the badges ,emblems , floor shifter, hubcaps ,horn cap . also looking for a good place to buy restro parts. thanks!

This site (http://www.novaresource.org/cowltags.htm)will answer most of your questions on decoding.

thanks phillips. that answered my question, wow! I never knew the car was tan, its red now,made in oakland and a nova 400, and it turned out to be a SS. you just never know when you buy these old cars! thanks!

Scott has put together a real nice info site for Nova owners.

An SS, thats :cool: always nice to find out you had more than you first thought. Keep us posted on the progress and ask all the questions you need to, the only bad questions are the ones you don't ask.

can anyone tell me where vin is located on 1963 nova other than l/h door post

remove the driver's fender. there's a weatherstrip/seal thats for the fender/firewall... you'll find the VIN there ;)

here's an example on a '66

but there is only 6 #s needs to be 12

it's probably only a partial VIN.

what is it you're trying to confirm ? the car itself ?

look here for more info: http://www.novaresource.org/vin.htm

trying to conferm vin is there any other locations

more than likely... those are it to my knowledge though.

I am looking for 1963 nova 2 dr parts car with a good title or vin

Are you wanting parts or buy a car with a vin and title to transfer to another car?

yes that would work or i have a lot of good parts to transfer to that car

it's against the law to transfer a VIN tag to a different car. if you have a car that has no VIN the DMV, Highway Patrol or whatever governing body in your state can revin the car.

any referencing to revining a car, locating a VIN etc etc etc and the thread will be locked and/or deleted ;)

yes that would work or i have a lot of good parts to transfer to that car

The second option is the only one allowed to be discussed here.

on a 1966 nova the vin tag is on the driver side door post about nee level.

the above posted image is from a '66, it's the hidden number... the tag is right where you're stating ;)

the hidden number is a factory part number
