Identifying the VIN on a 1965 Santa Fe

The actual VIN# should be stamped in the tongue. Usually on the driver's side and sometimes under the propane tanks. I started LE in 1974 and have done many of that era. Never a good idea to buy a vehicle without the title. In fact, unless the law has changed in 15 years when I retired, it is illegal to buy/sell vehicles without titles. If you were in Idaho the local DMV could not help you. You would have to get the State Inspector involved. Since there is only one in the state there is quite a wait. If you want I can PM you his info. Maybe he can give you some help over the phone.
