All:  Does anyone know if LM's sold in Europe had a hidden VIN  number?  If
so, is the location the same?  Was the number format  the same as those sold
here?

Thanks,

James -

I gave Dave Newell a number plate I pulled off of a Belgian-built 67 Monza  
in an Antwerp, Belgium auto wreckers in 1976. I am pretty sure it was 
mounted in  the same area as the 65-66 plates were in the US. I never looked for 
a hidden  stamp on the car. Dave shows a picture of the plate in his older 
book, "The  Compleat Corvair", I believe. I also picked up the European 
Speedo  (KM per  hour) and the 0 to 200 plastic faceplate. I really wanted to 
haul home the  4-speed Saginaw transaxle, but it was too heavy for Carry-on  
luggage!
