First question to ask is -"Did it ever have a VIN?" being early 70's its fairly likely it did not

Yes it has a vin number on the tags under the bonnet

What happens when you enter the vin into CarJam?

Won't show up

Or the number plate?

If I enter number plate in carjam itwill show up but not when I enter the vin number

Does the vin appear when the plate comes up?

Would be a chassis number from back then. Not a vin number. As long as it’s got a chassis number plate then It should be all good.

That's what I was thinking ,can't understand why they want me to fix vin number through vtnz

What number are they looking at? What is the car? The factory chassis code/body number is all that's required, unless it's been reregistered in the last 26 years it won't have a 17 digit NZ issued VIN tag.

Car is Hillman hunter 73. in the past few wof in some sheet they used engine number and on couple others used chassis number and engine number,number plate is black original

If the chassis number is there and is readable then that is ok by itself.

Maybe, just maybe this car has been re registered in the last few years?

Cars of that vintage had the manufacturers number stamped in the firewall.Franc 123 #post 11 is correct.The VIN tags only came in when we were flooded with jap imports.
