How do you determine if your car numbers match?
Typically this refers to the vin number being stamped on the engine block. Almost all Chevrolets had it stamped but a lot of fords and Chryslers did not. Another way to verify if it is numbers matching is the build date of the parts. Often parts have date stamps on them and to have them all match up with the year of the car is important to value on older classics. Almost all new cars have VINs stamped all over them in dozens of places. Engine block, Transmission, glass, body panels. If they do not match the VIN on your title it has been replaced.
