Dash board
B pillar drivers door (may be painted over)
Passenger side chassis rail underneath (this may have ZZZ instead of some letters/numbers)
Probably one more place I forget about.

where are all the numbers located so you can verify the vin by more than one way?

Late cars have a metal tag in the left closure panel of the front bumper structure.
They had a paper tag on the upper right "B" pillar.
Last 7 or so digits on the riveted on tag inder the driver's seat.
there was a 2-part self stick label usually 1/2 is supposed to be stuck to the aie duct structure to the right of the fuse panel. The other half of this tag is supposed to be affixed to the owner's manual by the dealer. THIS paper tag is where I usually find the paint code. and I have seen both halves of the tag in both places. Pretty ame, that they didn't put the owner's manual in the glove boxat the factory and that that is the only place the paint code might be shown.
that is all I have found SO FAR!
that is 7 places.
