There are partial VIN's stamped on the frame, engine block and transmission. An example would be 28P123456. 2=Pontiac Division, 8= 1968 Model Year, P= Pontiac Michigan assembly plant and the last six digits will match the last six of your VIN, assuming your car is numbers matching.

There is NO VIN stamped on the data/cowl tag, I have an example picture; 05C is the build date, 68-24237 = the year and the model, 2=Pontiac, 42=GTO and 37 =Coupe. The 20840 = the 20,840 GTO coupe built at the Pontiac plant. 223 = Black bucket seat interior and Q-Q = Verdoro Green upper and lower paint, but again there is NO VIN on these tags.

Also starting in 69 I have seen the partial VIN stamped on the firewall under the heater box/blower motor, but I have never seen it stamped there on a 68.

The information regarding the the 6-digit serialized production number of the car produced is mistaken. That represents the 20,840th V8 car produced across all models and does not correlate to overall GTO production! :-) GTOs produced at that plant will be far less than that number at that point-in-time.
