Where is the vin number on the engine? Can you see it without removing any parts? If anyone has pics... Thank you in advance.

Thank for the pic but I'm looking for where the vin is on the engine block to see if its easy to see or do I need to lift car to see.

Is there a VIN or even serial number on the engine block? Where did you hear about it?

It would not be unusual for a car manufacture to stamp the chassis VIN # somewhere on the block; historic/vintage cars can be worth more when they match up. My opinion is the 1M will fall into this category some day.

Vin#'s are on most of the parts on your car like on your truck if you remove your plate.
