Also, I have a 68 2BBL 383 with a 727 which were cast within like 2 months of the car's build date which I think would be the next best thing to #matching. (not that a 2BBL 383 is anything special like you said).

I guess one of my gripes with using the 318s vin (among many) would be that the fender tag would say 383 but the vin would say 318...

Yeah I was really hoping to find a build sheet but knew the chances were next to zero given the state the car was in. I do still have the Fender tag which shows the car was built for export to Canada though. This may be a stupid question but what are "SO numbers"?

That sounds handy, I had no idea such things existed haha

I picked them up near Edmonton back in 2021 IIRC. How do you mean "your vintage tag" I'm not quite sure I understand haha

Unfortunately the 318 car is very badly rusted (Flintstones Car), the 383 car is quite solid but is just a shell.

Good point but what kind of information could I give them that would allow them to search for it? I always thought they needed the vin to do anything.

True, I could do that but it would be my last resort...

That's a good point, I forgot you could do a title search. Although I doubt it would be in the system, how would I guess the original vin? Apart from it being XP29G8B, I'm not sure what I'd say. (Also I'm assuming it would be a "B" as it was an export car for Canada and I remember hearing...

I'm afraid those references when right over my head... Anyways, I just thought I'd use the American terms (state vs. province) such as to eliminate any room for miscommunications... That's it, all I meant by "Canadian System". I purchased both cars legally and have the bill of sale for both of...

:lol:I meant nothing like that haha, I meant that I just didn't want to have to explain the Canadian system as I assumed that most people on the forum would be American.

Haha you're right, I just didn't want to muddy the water with the whole provincially issued vin thing. That's a good point, I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask. I guess I figured that a clerk there wouldn't know and refer me to a website that didn't have the answer.

I'll have to look into it.

Can you get one without a Vin though? Will they issue a state Vin at that point?

Nope, just bill of sale (haven't tried to get one yet).
