Thank you for helping me work through it. I think i got it. Starting with Wikipedia, the Title VIN and number plate under the front windshield. If your stamped in vin numbers on the right front top fender well and your rear trunk floor just behind your right rear tail light housing are matching your driver door sticker VIN your golden. Now you just need to make sure your engine numbers match the year specified on samba's engine code list. Then your transmission numbers need to match to the year specified by the list provided by Blue sky motorsports chart for the year of the vehicles vin. All of this can be fabricated into any car by a good HACK ! This would qualify as ( Matching Numbers ) I think so ? Thoughts please.

In it's simplist form 'matching numbers' means the car has the engine and transmission
that it was manufactured with. The stamped in VIN numbers are the starting point. There are 'stamped' numbers on the engine the transmission and even dates of manufacture on many components such as alternator, starter, wheels and others. It is determined by history and evidence that can be found in a few ways. The original window sticker is a basic record, factory records such as a COA, (certificate of authenticity) maintenance records and a few other means help to determine matching numbers. |

Thank you, this helped. I have never seen a COA but I worked through some of this equation and i got it. Wikipedia has a set of numbers to match to the Vin. Samba has a set of Letters to match for the engine cases. Blue sky motorsports has a chart to match transmission numbers. As long as you get the right set of numbers on the components you put into the vehicle assuming you know where the stamped vin numbers are located it all can be put together minus the door sticker and even that can be welded in, would you agree ? |
