Is the chassis No not also the VIN No for Cobras? As the chassis No was stamped on a lot of various parts on the car for identity purposes?
The question is the wrong way round. I’ll answer a different one: Is the VIN (car number) not stamped/engraved on various parts of the car? Yes, in some places in full (eg CSX2042) and in others in part (eg 2042) when the car is made. However, as parts are replaced these stamped numbers can change.
For example, COB6034 has 6056 on its bonnet latch and both door hinges, no number on its chassis and an after-market chassis plate. Its VIN is still COB6034. There are many similar examples in the Register.
Any further questions on VINs and what they connote can easily be researched from authoritative sources.
I have not asked any questions the wrong way round ,has COB 6034 got different part Nos as the parts were fitted to different cars at the factory ? So the cars VIN No is COB6034 ,which is also the chassis no for the car !
"•Because the owner felt like a change" So what is the VIN No for 13 COB ? because "The Bell and Colvill Cobra started life in 'stock' 289 guise, first appearing in the early-mid 70`s, presumably because it took that long to acquire all the parts to build it."
