Are you sure you can't apply for a lost title?? Then just get it transfered.

What you're asking someone to do on the board doesn't sound real legal. Not, that I'm a do gooder. But, I don't think you should make it so public. Sort, of like asking if there is someone to roll a speedo back. I'm sure that the vin swap has been done in the past.

Take care, don't mean to offend. Just trying to keep you out of the hot seat. Never know who maybe reading these posts....

with you on the legality part, it's impossible to apply for a lost titile to a car that has no numbers to apply to a title to look for. I/m not offended just desperate, ive been tryin for almost a year now to find this and have done looked thru all of the red-tape ways of going about it, and I really didnt want to post something this way but I have kinda run out of other options

Wow, another night owl...

Anyway, is the vin number also missing from the upper left fender apron under the fender??

Also, have you looked under the seats, backseat is usually the best for an build sheet?? Sometimes if the car hasn't been gone over yet you'll find a build sheet tucked in a nook or cranny or stuck up in the springs of the rear seat.

Without the number plate on the door, [it's riveted] the plate on the right front of the dash [68 was the only year on the right side], the only other number is under the left fender on the apron.

You have to pull the fender back some to see it. Also, if it isn't on the apron and you think that the apron is original try removing some of the paint on the apron and see if it was filled in with paint. It was stamped into the metal.

Other then that....you could find out about other states vin#'s. I know in Florida you can get a special number for cars like Kit cars and such.
If you can find a state more friendly toward your problem. Just get an address there to get a title then transfer.

Or do your swap thingy, just be careful...don't need it to blow up in your face. I would go to a swap meet with lots of flea market vendors with "hulks". Probably a smaller show where many smaller vendors are.

Good luck, if I hear of anything I'll let you know.

sadly the car didnt have any interior other than the lower half the dash and console in the floor when I got it,the rest was long gone
I.ve replaced the left fender and there wasnt anything under the apron when i took the fender off, there is also nothing on the doors,I beginning to wonder if someone hasnt stripped the info off years ago long before I got it to make me miserable.

Not to sound redundant. When you changed the fender, do you know where the vin is on the apron?? It might be there, but covered with paint, bondo, peanut butter, etc.

It's not hard to look at with a new fender on. Just loosen it up and pull it back alittle. Maybe some steel wool to remove the paint.

Anyway, if nothing is there. You now know your only option....

Have you tried a junk yard. I know I was at one yesterday removing a few odds and ends parts off a partial 68 and the VIN plate was still there riveted on the driver's door. Dash VIN was gone because the front of the car was gone. If you can find a junked stang with all the VIN plates, I don't know if they'd let you take the VIN plates or not. I know you can buy repro VIN plates for the doors (not sure about the dash ones), but probably wouldn't do you any good without a good VIN.
