    yeah i know... but here in portugal the car inspectors saiy that i need a plate number or a number craved on the chassi... like the new cars have...

    about the plate, ford doesnt supply it anymore, so i though that might be a place in the chassi where the vin number is located

    Check the top of the left fender apron. The number may be partially hidden by the fender.

    Well, that should do it anyway. The Numbers match. Again on my car to see the numbers stamped on the left side you have to remove the fender.

    Here is a pic of a 72 Comet right apron. You can almost make out the VIN on top lip. The best I can remember the VIN is on both sides. I have a pic of a Stallion right apron showing the VIN also

    Looks like you have what you need then

    2 = 1972
    x = St. Thomas Assembly Plant
    91 = 2 door standard sedan
    F = 302 v8
    231158 is the consecutive unit number

    Does the car have the data tag on the drivers side B pillar? If so post the information from the tag.

    damm that was helpful!!! never knew what the vin number meant.

    yes it has a sticker on the drivers side, and i think it has one in the passanger side too. tire specs and color trims... i left the car at the garage, but ,monday iam gonna post the pics of the stickers and the plate.

    i hope the guys from inspection realy undestand this... they wanted a document from Ford saying that the plates do the work... looks like i have to remove the fender to show them hahaha

    btw thanks for the pic!

    In your other post you indicated the car is a Sprint. If it is truly a Sprint it will have an RB in the trim code on the drivers side B pillar tag. If it is a Sprint, make sure you send all the information from the tags and VIN to Mavaholic here on the forum he is the keeper of the Sprint registry.
