Locating the Superformance Cobra Chassis Number:
1.) The Chassis serial number is located on the VIN plate on top of the passenger foot well as viewed from the engine compartment.
If you suspect the State removed it or replaced it with their own VIN...
A.) Open the hood. Look in from the driver's side.
B.) Locate the upper front cross member. It is just in front of the engine. For reference, it typically has the remote oil filter mounted on it.
C.) On the top of the cross member about two inches from the left (driver's side) upright, a number is stamped directly on the frame cross member.
This is the Superformance Chassis Number. See above for determining your actual "car number."
If you have a metal plate pop riveted in this location, your dealer has covered up the Superformance Chassis Number with you state VIN number. In this case, do not remove the VIN plate. Write "Covered by VIN plate" in the space for Superformance Chassis Number. In this case, it is particularly important that you verify the Car Number as indicated.
The chassis number is also stamped on the hood hinges. Check either hood hinge plate where it is bolted to the hood. The number is stamped into the hinge plate. It may be partially filled with paint and hard to read, but it can be read. The number may also be written in grease pencil in the hinge plate, but use the stamped number.

1.) SPC0 *** 7 character form: Last 3 digits is the car number
