My 1970 with a california re-assigned ID number is ready to go back on the road after nearly 5 years of restoration. When I bought the car it had a California re-assigned ID number because of a falsified VIN. About 10 years ago there was an investigation by a Fresno police officer that used a Fry's method of recovering the real VIN. His investigation was almost successful, he identified and recovered NINE out of TEN digits. So the car is one of 10 possible.
If the group can help by supplying any of the missing known numbers that would greatly enhance the chance of restoring the true ID number of my vechicle by process of elimination> This is the partial number: 4702905_48. Anybody that has that third digit could respond. If I get lucky, REALLY lucky, I'll have 9 responses. Any help is appreciated. |

You guys are over-thinking the whole chassis number thing.
The reason i linked our VIN database is so one can take his chassis number and compare it to the other chassis numbers already listed in the possible VIN range. 12.3.95.31 = Wednesday March 18, 1970 Since 470.29.05848 is already accounted for and the chassis number for 470.29.05859 is 12.4.95.80 which is one day later and if we assume they made about 150+ cars per day during that period, my best guess for his VIN is: 470.29.05748 Now, if you have some money to spare, get the COA for 470.29.05748 and do as Dave suggested and compare the paint code and engine number to your car and see if it's a match.
