Hidden VINs

Q: Hidden VINs

I have heard there are hidden VINs scattered throughout my car. I want to use this knowledge to help me authenticate a purchase. Anyone have any ideas where these might be located.

A: …The only hidden VIN that most are aware of is the Cowl VIN stamped below the Cowl Cover. Obviously, non-factory weld seams will be easy to spot. Many like to claim that they know of other ‘Super Secret’ VIN locations simply to leave novices wondering (& worrying ?). Other ‘suspected’ places…. somewhere on the Sub-Frame, Along the Trunk ‘Gutter’, On the floor pan.
