no vin on military car

[elephantengine]

Hi. I was looking at a 1967 Coronet the guy claims was ordered by the military in California,China Lake, to be exact. The car has a fender tag that checks out,but no vin plate. I would think all cars would have a vin even if ordered by the military. He claims to have papers but has to get them from another location.Anyone heard of this?

I have a 1984 Dodge D-150 that was originally ordered by the military here in Nevada in 1984 and it has the factory installed VIN. I would be very leary of this and definitely would try to stay away from this unless you find out otherwise. In California my father worked on a lot of government and some military vehicles and we recorded all vin's for warranty purposes. (Plates got swapped around a lot) Everyone I personally recorded was a factory VIN, and I am going back to the 60's forward. Use a lot of caution!!!!!

Never heard of no VIN. But I have had government owned cars before.... forget any "title" as you know it and I've never had them show on a carfax.... not yet anyway... (that be for newer stuff)
