94 gsr's don't have a vin on the block
only the block stamping

 

how would someone know if it stolen or not?

Yeh, that I would like to know also. I'm planin to buy a motor too and is pretty scared of gettin a shady or hot motor Anyway to find out if any engine you buy is legit or hot or not???? Wasn't there a website you can just checked the vin # of the motor to see if its legit or not??? Forgot...

 

Ask your local PD..

They can run the numbers under the block code for you, if it doesn't have a vin.

 

I live in CA. I went to dmv said they can only do motors with vin #. The 94 and 95 gsr dont have vin #. But they do have a the stamp on the front of the block. I believe the 96-up gsr have the vin #. the stamp is a serial #. And the CHP can do it. But the owner and block have to come in and they can check it.But i dont think the guy im about to buy it from will go out of his way to do that to sell it to me.Im trying to find a way find out by me just doing presenting the serial # to someone to find out if its legit or not.

 

the LAPD was no help for me.

 

I guess i have to convince the guy to come down with me and have the block checked out.

 

call up different chp offices, some VIN officers will give you the info some of them wont. Just keep trying.
