'58 88 VIN Tag Location?
Where would it be on a '58? Also, are there any other spots on the car where the VIN could be found? I'm interested in buying one, but the tag I'm told is missing...

Yes, you are right Allan! The guy claimed it was missing. I went to look at the car today, and actually found it. It had fallen off and got stuck behind the hinge. The owner was very happy! Now.....do I buy the car? Was thinking of turning it into a "patina" rod. That would be the cheapest way to go without turning it into a project....http://newyork.craigslist.org/que/cto/4136487171.html

Check this out...
Offer 2K and see if he'll take it. You're really handy with welding so the patching will be a breeze. I wouldn't turn it into a Gas Monkey patina pit. Way too nice a car for that. Very least this thing would be is a cool sleeper resto mod with an LS1.
The car has some obvious rust issues but appears to be relatively intact and mostly solid from the pics. I could see this car becoming this quite easily...

I know, but that's the argument I'm having with myself....I don't want a complete resto to do when I still have the vista to finish....the money it would take to do it right......let alone the time...
