Well if you're not the owner it doesn't really matter but there are two body stampings that should match the last 8 digits of the vin. These are located under the hood. One is on the cowl, driver's side, up near the windshield near the vent cover, the other is on the radiator support, driver's side, next to the top tank of the rad.

They are used to ID that the chassis matches the other documents, but of course a LOT of sheet metal could be replaced.

Doesn't sound like there are "numbers issues" with this car. Good luck!
