Guys, I lost the vin tag for one of my cars and can't find it anywhere. This is the vertical tag that goes in a Chevelle door jamb. It's a simple tin tag with the VIN stamped into it. I still have the cowl tag but need the other. Any suggestions as to what to do? Thanks in advance, Dave.
I think most DMVs and AAA will have to do a "vin verification". You would have to make an appointment with them. But if you have the dash Vin still in place with the registration already in your name I don't think the door tag would be that big of a deal.
Dave, in IL you would have to have the Secretary of State Police inspect it. They issue it a "NEW" vin tag and a "NEW" number. They will NOT issue you the same number and the replacement tag looks completely different from the org and they will want to attach it to the top of the dash "NOT" in the org location!!
You will have to contact your DMV to see how they handle it but I'm sure it's no better and maybe worse in Cali?? I would try your best to find the org tag!
It's not a big deal. CHP will do an inspection and check your body and frame for the hidden vins. If all is there then they will issue a new tag. It will not be the original.
I just hope your frame is original. It may get sticky if it's different. But I'm with Charley, try to find your original.
