Rookie Here with new 69 Mustang Mach 1 need help with Vin # location
Just bought a 1969 Mach 1 with a 351 Cleveland engine. The VIN # is not in the dash nor on the driver door. We know the driver door was replaced or fixed due to a deer hitting it. We have title from seller but know we will have to do a VIN # validation to get the car titled & tagged. Where else can we look for the VIN #?

The dash VIN might be folded underneath your dashpad.
I think the only last location of the VIN is on the engine bay wall where the fender bolts too. I believe it's on the driver side, you'll have to pull back the fender to see it.
And 1969 Mach 1's only came with 351 windsors, not clevelands. Just in case you didn't know that...
Yeah pop the hood and on the right fender there is a cut out right there is the vin.Most states go by the vin under the hood the door tag is easy to change.Once you find the vin decode it here http://www.mustangdecoder.com/

Going to guess you don't have a 69... there isn't a vin under a cutout in the fender for us. We have to unbolt the fender and move it out of the way to see the vin there.
EDIT: Just went out to verify. Open the hood, stand on the drivers side. Count the bolts that are on the lip of the fender starting at the windshield, the VIN is stamped immediately to the left of the third bolt. I could see mine by undoing the couple bolts around it and just lifting up the fender. This picture is taken bent over peering under the gap, which is why it looks funny.
I agree. Probably stopped doing it because it saved a few pennies per fender. Tempting to make the cutout myself though, I don't really see a problem doing so either.

I've spent my entire life in a big city, so forgive my ignorance on this, but, a deer T-boned the car? Causing enough damage to have the driver's door replaced? Was he running at full speed?

Yeah I have seen it a few times before and its almost happened to me a couple times. They panic sometimes when they are on the side of the road or in the road when you drive by. When they panic they run across the street and sometimes right into the side of your vehicle. They can leave some good size damage. Depending their size they can more than easily total a car with a head on collision and more than dent body panels by running into the side.

Deer up my way grow to be well over 175lbs (Big bucks can get over 200lbs). I've seen them so serious damage by running into cars (easily enough to require a door to be replaced).
You'd be surprised at what kind of damage a 175-200lb mass running at 30mph can do.
