    Vin locations?

    Hi all. 86 Lebaron ragtop. Where are the vins located on this car aside from the dashboard and on the door sticker?

    Apparently I bought a car that I can't get registered. So this 86 may become an 85 that got totaled a few months ago.

    How cant it be registered?Technically, there are vins on nearly every welded "detachable" part on the car, at least the serial number run. As far as vin stickera, i thought there was one on each inner front fender, one on the hood, one on the back bumper, and a few placed inside underneath paneling, namely behind the back paneling in the back.

    I bought the car from a guy in Connecticut (I'm in RI). Apparently, he never registered the car when he bought it. So, essentially, I have a bill of sale from the first owner to him, and him to me. DMV won't take that. I called him to try and get it straightened out and basically I'm SOL.

    Unless I forge a bill of sale from the original owner or track him down (haven't been able to do that, even if I did, what do I say?) or swap VIN's with my old car I'm out of options.

    Shouldn't say this, but I'd just forge something and go to a currency exchange since they never check anything lol

    Know anyone in Vermont? Sell it to them and buy it back, should be a way to get a title then. Vermont doesn't have titles for anything older.
