Good day everyone,

Need your expertise; I am looking to purchase a ITR, preferably all stock and all original. What I am looking to know is how to identify if everything is "matching" and what else should I be looking for.
I am located in Canada, not sure if that makes a difference.

1. How do I match VIN's (engine to chassis), What else should I be looking for when trying to "match" everything to be all original.
2. What are other key items I should be looking for when viewing the car

Thanks for your help and advice!

 

There will be a vin on the Trans,block(kinda hard to see),hood,fenders,trunk,doors,front bumper.make sure it matches the one on the title(all of them) and that the miles/km match as well

 

VIN in stamped into the firewall above the fuel filter and the tag on the dash. These two must match, and all the above mentioned parts must match the VIN too. That is if you want a totally original R.
Gonna be expensive so be prepared.

 

Thanks for the feedback...

just to clarify the VIN on the trans and engine, they are not the seriel numbers correct? eg. B18C5xxxx or S80xxxxx... I should be looking for the actual VIN's.

Where would they be located?

 

If you're looking to get into a R, you should take a look at this site. It will answer many of your questions.

What to shop for, when looking for an ITR, hmmm....

An enclosed garage

 

The vin on the Trans and block will match the vin on the firewall and the tag on the dash

 

Where is the VIN on the block?
