Technical 30 model have a VIN?

Does a original 30 model a coupe vin # ? Or would it be a newer added DMV sticker or something

Found one for sale . Seller says he has a ***le "for a 30 model" cars in washington...

.

 

Originally, it had a serial number on the engine block, and the drivers side frame rail under the cowl, and they matched.

 

How do you view the frame stamp ? In side through the floor board?

 

Not one of Fords better idea's, you have to lift the body, and then the running board aprons have been rubbing on the numbers for all of time so they can be very hard to see.

 

Top of left frame rail, right in front of cowl. That is the number that should match the ***le. Be aware that not many Model A’s have their original engine.

 

To see the VIN the body has to be lifted or off the frame, when DMV tries to verify the VIN , after the car is finished and they feel ***ured that it is legit, that's when they add those number tags on the A Pillar.

 

Right on... Exactly what I was wondering

 

NO NO NO
The Ford Model A had a serial number stamped on the engine.
Some frames had a serial number stamped on them BUT NOT ALL HAD A STAMP ON THE FRAME.

From a ‘31…. Zoom in on the chalked area.

Selling a car and 'a ***le for a 30 model'? Just the ***le?
Search for "VIN" here in general discussion. This has been argued about for decades.
Also search for your (Idaho) state's laws and rules on this sort of thing.

All Model A engines were built at the Rouge plant and the Serial number was stamped consecutively there. Then the engines were sent out to the various ***embly plants where that same number was stamped on the frame (I’m sure some were missed). It is a serial number not a VIN although it was used for registration.

 

Only if you live it a state that had ***les in 1930 and that issue ***les for cars that old.

 

And if your aunt had balls she’d be your uncle.

 

This is correct.

Many states later used the engine number for ***le purposes and that can lead to problems if someone later finds out the engine had been replaced and doesn’t match the frame number. Just speaking from experience. Most en***ies use the frame number now.

 

Why not start the other way around? Find out what Your State requires for a ***le. Then find out what information the seller has on his "***le". Maybe you will get lucky. My '31 came with PA ***le converted from an Ohio ***le ( don't know how) which was the vacated by the PA DMV who then issued me a new Pennsylvania street rod VIN plate which is now attached to my firewall. The DMV can be a strange world. Also contact your elected state representative. One of their jobs is to help cons***uents get through the h***les of state bureaucracy. They should have plenty of time. No one's elected officials seem to be doing much these days.
