just bought 70 cuda with a 4 speed pistol grip.   engine missing, original owner moved forgot to leave number plates from inside left wheel well and dash. want to know where any other numbers might be stamped on car.So i can research this car and bring her back !  

Cuda70:
I am speaking from experince on this matter.
You can Look at inside of drivers side door, Radiator has a number on bottom. Galen Govier can tell you more about where to look for numbers to get an idea of your cars options.
I would be a little suspicious of a car missing both the dash Vin and fender tag and engine. Are you sure you actually received what you intended to buy?  Hopefully you have a copy of the title (Which should have your vin code on it), otherwise you had better hope and pray that your car clears and was not stolen or a cuda clone made from a barracuda, etc.
I bought a Canadian Car a few years back, the jerk that hauled it down from Canada made off with the fender tag along with the radio and some of the chrome and dissapeared into the night. Luckily the dash vin was intact along with the door sticker. I was able to verify and register the car with Galen Govier. I sweated buckets though for a few weeks until the cars title was cleared by Gov't and put into my name.
Take care,
Mike
