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

An SS, thats 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

 

[Guest]

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

 

[gengland]

but there is only 6 #s needs to be 12

 

[Guest]

it's probably only a partial VIN.

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

 

[Guest]

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

 

[gengland]

trying to conferm vin is there any other locations

 

[Guest]

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

 

[Philip]

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

 

[gengland]

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

 

[Guest]

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

 

[Philip]

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.

 

[Guest]

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

 

[duces are wild]

the hidden number is a factory part number
