Hey guys!
Is there a place on the chassis where the VIN# is stamped. I found many stickers
and some numbers but the spicific entire VIN I have not found.
Its for a fellow Fiero owner in Spain that needs his annual inspection.

Thanks!

Load Rating, RPO and maybe VECHI stickers have VIN numbers.

87 and later have VIN stickers/stamps on every body panel and more for meeting US Fed Anti-Theft rules.
Engines and Trans have part of VIN too.

Metal Stamped VIN for all years atarting at least in 1970s...
Obvious one is on dash so cops etc can see it thru windshield.
"Hidden" one is on the frame. AKA Body Number Plate. Just where depends on year and model. I've seem but can't remember exactly where on Fiero.

BODY NUMBER PLATE
The Body Number Plate (Fig. 1) is attached to the front tie bar behind either the right or left headlamp in the engine compartment on all models. The Body Number Plate identifies numerous items as outlined in Figure 1.


Try Look in/under the front near radiator.

The second stamped vin plate is under the dash on the driver side. It is riveted to the top side of the steering column support cross beam.

I think if you pull the driver's side dash speaker you can see it.

That... I saw it 15+ years ago doing dash replacement. Is another place where Fiero FSM is wrong.

I've never looked at an 84 but all the others I've seen, (85-88) have a second one under the left front speaker.

Yep, it's right below the one you can see through the windshield.
