I'm having a punched VIN decal reproduced. Silly me, I took pictures of the old one but never took a physical measurement of the sticker. And I need to adjust the proof.

Can someone please let me know the exact length and width of the jamb sticker, preferably from an '80-'82 car?

Much appreciated- I'll send you a sealed Music City macaroon from "The Garage" coffee shop in Nashville for your trouble!

Do you mean the VIN number tag in the front window?
Neither my '80 or 81 have a tag on the drivers door jamb.

The VIN sticker on my '80 was oriented just a bit below the window line, above the latch point, affixed to the door jamb. I took pics before removing/ committing to a new one.

It is the original sticker. I still don't have the measurements- I have a source but I need to wait for a while unless someone can put some basic measurements up. My only known reference example is quite a ways away.

I do not have that sticker as far as I can tell. I looked on the door jambs and in the engine compartments but could not find anything. Sorry I couldn't help.

And I wanted that macaroon.

To paint the car correctly, I need to replace the sticker. Some sacrifice is required.... besides, the chassis VIN and door post VIN trump the sticker in terms of importance.


Still looking though---- will PayPal $10 to the first person that measures the '80 VIN sticker with a ruler & posts reference pics.
I'm kicking myself for not measuring the sticker beforehand!
