sunbeam tags
Although... if you're talking about the painted tag on the vertical firewall (not the aluminum one on the top of the firewall), I'm not sure there's a way to find out... I've never heard of any relationship between that painted-tag number and the 'official' VIN.
Ok. Here's my deal. I bought the one I modified from a junkyard in AZ. I have a title that some title agent do down there made, but the guy that wrote the title didn't know much about Sunbeams. He thought it was a 65, which it's totally not. He also used my body tag for the VIN( a 4 digit number).
I went to my local DMV today and I can fix his mistakes by filling out a form that will adjust the title for the correct VIN number and year, but I have to have my sh&^t together before going back. I liked to know the year. I figure it's between a 60 and 62
I have a late 63 Sunbeam that I've used for a donor for my modification and they used the serial number on the firewall as the VIN number.
I have three numbers on my modified Sunbeam.
1. a body tag.
2. a serial number stamped on the firewall.
3. the number behind the driver seat.
Which number do they normally use for the VIN?
Correct if I'm wrong. I believe the Sunbeam I have modified is not a 63 it's hood doesn't open all the way, the hood rod is on the top of firewall and it's missing the vent windows.
