Re: How does a DMV registration number come from?
The DMV number is sequntially assigned and does not relate to the original engine number. Here is mine (with the last three numbers blanked out). The original number appears, if readable, on the left frame rail just under the cowl, the body must be lifted to see it. For years these cars were registered by engine number but as far back as 1971(when I registered my RDPU) the DMV began assigning their own number as it was common to replace the engine. I assume you are finding that number on a plate riveted to the door jam but you will probably also find that number on a plate attached to the vehicles frame.
