I think I have read that the VINs did not start getting put on frames & blocks on Pontiacs until 1967 even though the law went into effect in '66.

I did determine that it is an A O smith frame and not a parish. Has 2 holes by the steering box not one.

may or may not have been law but my 57 international has the vin on the frame. i just sold a buddy a 41 plymouth and it had an engine tag, body tag and a tag on the frame that was unreadable. mike

as i said if the car ever gets inspected by law enforcement and the numbers don't match it could open up a big bag of worms. according to the isp detective i talked to the chassis is what's titled. the visable vin, the frame and the drivetrain numbers should match for a legit car. mike

So I will just keep the original frame. I do not know how or where to store but will find something. Just like moms gto as long as I am alive neither her gto nor my 2+2 will ever be sold.

selling with a different frame
Mike
I called my freind at the State Police as well. I was sent to the BMV. Everything is fine. The body has the correct tags. All the BMV said was to keep the title from the doner car. Patrick see you Sunday |

Just an update. Has been real slow getting the frame from the parts car. Many thanks to Steve at Indiana Pontiacs and Mike Nixon for helping. It was a cold misty day. But a fun day. Redi strip called today and I will pick it up on Monday.
It is very very nice. Only one very small 2-3mm hole that needs plugged. The cross member brackets need to be straightened just little. One thing I noticed the front sway bar off the Grand Prix is 5/8th and my 2+2 is 3/4.? Visually looking I did not measure. Heavier sway bar part of the heavy duty suspension. (your thoughts Mike.) Core support came out very nice as well. One small patch under the battery tray and it will be excellant. I will post some pictures Monday Night. Patrick |

the handling pkg ,from memory here, consisted of the larger sway bar, heavier spring rates and a different tire size. your 'vert already had the hd frame in place.
that frame's a nice peice. mike

Yes it is. Just the one area under the battery box that need repair. Do you need it? I have 2 more but one is not very good. Patrick |
