No need to pull the windshield, pull the dash pad and drill it. I needed to swap the pad on one of my 71s within the last dozen years, I never permanently replaced the original VIN because I didnt have the correct rivets. Planned on it but it never happened

If you pulled the dash, there are companies out there that reproduce fender tags. http://www.datatags.com/
Maybe they could reproduce a VIN if you gave the title and fender tag as evidence.
Of course, that given that the VIN tag really isn't there.

Next time remove it from the back and epoxy the tag back on.

No.... I'd rather wait for the rivets. I didn't want to pay fifty bucks for two rivets, I should have.

The tag simply sat in the indent till the day I sold it.
 
Conversely, on my first 71 I swapped in a pad and left the tag on there from the car it came from.
Whenever I got pulled over [and it was a lot] the officers checked the VIN on the dash. When questioned I would tell them that I replaced the pad and directed them to the sticker on the door. Even with all the Jerk off cops I had encountered not one took issued with the pad

Its hard to find old police cars now a days. They were mostly scraped. I was looking to buy a retired Charger and police officers comment on this site. They say don't buy one unless its the Chiefs car or a case worker etc. They are maintained but they put them through hell. They let them idol for long periods of time so they say add another 20 to 30,000 miles on top of the odometer.They will run in through ditches off road high speeds transmission drops. That Fury 1 is not bad its has no ID.
 
Once again, we have a seller that doesn't know that the term "Interceptor" is a trademarked Ford term.
Correct Ford uses police interceptor. Plymouth or Dodge would be Commando or Magnum.Maybe I'am wrong thats what type of engine was in the old mopars
 
The old retired police say the 69 and 70 Plymouths were far the best. They can run down anything except maybe an L88 Vette Hemi Cuda. The Arizona Highway Patrol used 71 and 72 AMC Javelin pursuits and they would hit 150 MPH. They handled better then the big e body cars. I have met people over the years in the late 60's early 70's police were a different breed. They would sneak up on organized races on sections of unfinished highways. Instead of handing out tickets they would race and one guy I knew had 66 GTO and the Plymouth police car would put it to shame. He said they would beat just about every car except for a Hemi and 427 Vette.Thats incredible given the size of a police car the weight and the gearing they usually had 323 rear ends

On anything old like a 69 you are going to be rebuilding/freshening it anyways. Not a big deal. The Crown Vics from 2007 up have an idle hour meter on the mileage display, so you can get a better idea. I saw one that had 72,000 miles, but had almost 8,000 hours on it. Still looked nice, but that is a lot of idling.
 
cool car, but vin fell off?

Several years ago at a car swap meet there was a brouchure vendor. He knew my love of Mopar Pursuit cars. He had dozens of them of all makes he purchased. The total he wanted was hundreds which I could not afford. I have this 1970 one to match my car and several other years I purchased.
