Vehicle Identification Number
The official Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for title and registration purposes is stamped on a metal plate. The plate is fastened to the instrument panel near the windshield on the driver side of the vehicle (Figure 3) and is visible from the outside. The VIN is 17 characters long.

The last six digits of the VIM indicate the serial number of each unit built at each assembly plant. The production serial number begins with 100,000 and may sequence through 999,999.
