GTOresto,
I recently did some archeological work on my 67 convertible and found the VIN in the middle of the flat section of the rear frame rail. It's flat for about 2 feet and it was right in the middle. It was very hard to find, but a wire brush brought it out.
Interestingly, I was recently working on my wheel well patches and during one of my just-sitting-there-staring-sessions, I noticed some white paint behind the old undercoating on the driver side frame rail (same area as the VIN). So I scraped off the undercoating and found some white painted numbers. They are upside down. Attached is a pic, upside down, of the numbers. I see a PPS and a number, then I guess what is a date of 2/14/67. I'm amazed it's still somewhat readable. You can also see in the pic the tailpipe hanger for reference. Anyone else find these numbers?
