Sir,
I’ve added this vin to my database and hope to help you find it. Should anyone reach out to me with this vin I will let you know!

Added to my database.
Metucheon block? is it common for these assembly plant blocks to lack the stamped VIN?
There is some evidence and speculation Metuchen wasn’t as good at putting vin stamps on blocks but I have seen several photos of Metuchen hipo vin stamps, just not nearly as much as San Jose and Dearborn.
Bill, thanks for the post. I recorded this vin in my database and will reach out to you should the current kar’s owner reach out to me
Damon, I recorded your vins in my database and will reach out to you should anyone contact me looking for it.
Fred, agreed. OP needs to post the full vin so if anyone ever searches google with that full vin they can be directed to this post.
Cobra patrol,
Just to be clear, you are looking for this vin stamped Toploader or you have it in your possession?
Swortman,
I added your vin to my database and will reach out to you should anyone reach out to me for information on it.
Tom, thanks for your phone number and message. I recorded this vin in the hipo database and will have your contact info to share if anyone ever contacts me with this vin.
Got it! Thanks.
Paul, do you remember if it had its original vin stamped motor and trans?
Sir,
Thanks for posting. I ran this vin in my database and have. Not previously recorded it but I added it and will reach out to you should the current owner reach out to me looking for information.
Can you tell me when and where you use to own this kar and what paperwork you have for it? Would love to get a phone or email from you to add to my database of people looking for their long lost hipo kars.
I looked at my database and have not recorded this vin. I added it and will reach out to you on here should I ever run across it.
This one is mine and I’m glad we were able to link up over the phone. You are welcome to come out and drive the kar anytime!
Hi Matt,
Thanks for the post and it’s been great talking with you and receiving the original photos you sent me from when your family owned it in the 1980s. I can say for sure the vin stamps on the apron are original to the body panels and so were the spot welds. When I had the kar restored I made sure the three vins were not affected during the restoration too.
I like it and it’s good to see these Metuchen stamped examples to dispel the rumored Metuchen didn’t stamp them.
What vin stamp is it so I can add it to my database.
There is some misinformation that Metuchen did not vin stamp HiPo motors. Looking at my database there are few examples compared to Dearborn and San Jose but I wanted to share a recent 6T08K found in the woods of Pennsylvania. The story was the original owner parked it after putting just 10,000 miles on it and there it stayed until recently. Here are a couple photos.
This seems to be a “make me sell it” price tag. These carbs usually sell quick when the price is fair.
I have located block # 5F07K771415 I noticed that the car is currently listed in the hipo mustang registry and I might have something that the car owners would like to have. Car shows to be in Iowa.
Sir, I've added your found block to my database. Should I find the owner of the kar, how can I get a hold of you quickly? Please send me a message.
