Missing VIN badges

[tgreese]

Think so. I have a listing but it's not in the same format as the badge. I will check tonight or tomorrow.

I finally found a good source in Holland, not cheap but seems to be high quality

I also got a price from the US company reported earlier...600+ bucks!
And I thought that 90€ from the dutch one was expensive... lol

Update.
Vin badge received, seems very well made
Just sharing in case some of you needs a replica

That looks like the one from https://dataplates4u.com/ correct?
How much did that set you back?

I'm in the process of trying to get this sorted out for my 1965 J200, as I seem to be missing the firewall plate. I have the one on the drivers door jamb, but i don't think that has the full info on it. If I can get a new ID plate, it should make titling it a lot simpler.

Yes it is from dataplates
They quoted originally 140€ if I remember well but I got a discount since they had another request and they could produce 2 at the same time
As per the info/numbers on it, this is fully up to you, in my case I had to “recode” my vin from the equiment in my cherokee

Here in the States, you would be unable to register that vehicle at all without a VIN. You can re-VIN vehicles here, but lots of hoops there. Not sure if its possible there.

I know this was posted 2 months ago but I am just finding things on this site.

That statement is actually incorrect. Most if not all states do have ways to get a state issued VIN number in the event the vehicles original VIN is missing. Back when I was in high school I bought a Trans AM from an insurance company that was a theft recovery. Nobody wanted to buy it because it had no VIN So I got it dirt cheap. I took the car and documentation for where I got it to the police department and had them inspect it, filled out some paperwork and 3 or 4 months later was issued a new VIN by the state of Oklahoma, which I was required to stamp into the door frame.

On the earlier models the VIN is located on the forward side of the drivers door jam. Early ones didn't include much information.

So I see! Looks like it’s all there.

It's not all there for a J200 or more generally FSJs built before '73 , you also have a little plate on the firewall, passenger side with the paint and trim codes. Unfortunately this little plate is often lost since it was glued, no rivets.

Yes that is your VIN tag.
This is a good decoder reference https://www.allpar.com/mopar/jeep-vin.html

However Mud89 is correct that there should also be a Willys tag under the hood on the passenger side and a paint code tag like these

Yours should say Willys produced by Kaiser Jeep corporation but those are only informational tags and not part of the VIN, the VIN is the stand alone tag you pictured.

There is also one more tag that may or may not be on a firewall, a special order tag like this on the drivers side

In that second photo, the "Special Sales Order" tag, you can see the adhesive behind the plate.... well, that's all I have left of mine

Well, I didn't say you could not add a new VIN. I actually say you can re-VIN. Just that you can't register with no VIN at all. If the original is missing, you have to get a new one.

Here's another place-just found through another Jeep site:

You are correct, my bad, sorry
