Stamped VIN location help needed. Can anyone tell me where.to find a stamped VIN derivative on a 1993 Z28.Trying to register one in Ireland and they won't do it without a stamped VIN to match the windshield VIN.Desperate for help in this.
From another thread:
There is a partial VIN on the passenger side windshield pillar. Just peel back the weather stripping that seals the door window to the pillar and you should see it covered under some tape.

Thanks for the reply.
I searched some more for you....
It's also stamped and covered with a translucent blue tape under the weather stripping on the passenger side windshield pillar. Same on a seam under the rear bumper cover where two body panels come together.
Also on the drivers side of the transmission, and the rear drivers side corner of the engine block. They are all stamped dot matrix style in these locations.

Many thanks for all your help.
I'll look in the places you mentioned.
I looked on the block and tranny but nothing.
I had the car lifted and had great lighting and nothiy stamped.
I'll check the other places
Thanks.

You might need to clean the areas on the engine and transmission where it is supposedly located really well. "Dot matrix" printed means the markings are probably going to be a very shallow mark and difficult to see. Good luck.

I'll look again on the block and transmission.
They were pretty clean. I could swear it was smooth as butter. I saw some pics of the number stamped with dot pattern on the block and transmission. Mine look identical but no number. I'll defo look again very closely.....pillar as well.
Thanks again.

From another thread:
Partial Vin (Just plant code and sequence number) is found in the following areas.
1.Engine-either deck extension on the pass front, right below the head, or next to the oil filter.
2. Transmission pad
3. Top of cowl, underneath the cowl panel grill
4. front of cowl, below the heater box opening.

Thanks to everyone who helped
I finally found the VIN.
It was where many people suggested.
It was on the transmission housing where it bolts to the motor, just above/next to the oil filter.
I had looked there and felt for it and nothing.
I used a degreaser and there it was.....stamper with the dotted pattern stamping.
Thank you everyone!!!

Congrats. Well done.
Where in Ireland are you from? I love your country. We have been there on vacation quite a few times. I particularly enjoy the fishing and scenery in Donegal.

I'm in Dublin....nowhere near as beautiful as Donegal.
Ill have to take a ride up to Donegal soon.
Cool. We used to stay in the Drumcondra area when we were in Dublin but have become partial to the Ballsbridge area recently. Good luck with your car. I’m sure it is quite interesting driving that thing on all of the narrow streets.
