My IT car was a recovered theft car I bought from a salvage yard. the VIN # was removed when it was originally stolen. Do I need a vin # somewhere on the car or can I show the paper work detailed the year/model etc.
 
RR, I have known a few "bodys in white" race cars over the years. At 1st it may be a little hard but with some documents you should not have any problems. Once you have your cage #stamped and your log book you should be ok just have your ducks in a row Glenn

I wouldn't be so sure.

From the ITCS:

"A minimum of two (2) VIN plates and/or stampings is required."

I would write to the national office and try to get some official ruling/help on this matter.

Go through your factory service manuals. These will tell you where additional VIN #'s are stamped into your body/frame/chassis. The GCR doesn't say there has to be two that can be seen, just that there has to be two VIN's on the car.

I'm almost 100% positive there are at least 2 more VIN's without the one in the window.
