i have a 71 barracuda that there are NO VIN #'s on the core support OR the cowl.




Years ago, I looked at a 70 hemicuda. It had the same. No numbers stamped on the cowl nor radiator support. No Data Plate. Did not even have the holes drilled.
After some research, it turned out to be a Body In White from the factory. Some how, some time, it recieved a V.I.N. plate.
