I had intended to make this thing look good like yours in the picture. But, it will take too long. So, I want to sell it and can't seem to find the vin #.
I bought it with a so called simple bill of sale which I have misplaced. I don't know if I or the guy I got it from can legally sell it. I may have to part it out.

If you know where the Argosy may have lived most of its life, you could conceivably trace ownership with that state's DOT once you have the VIN. Reissuing of titles tends to follow specific rules set out by your state.
I don't think my '74 Argosy received enough layers of paint to cover up -- but I never found the commonly mentioned stamped VIN on the roadside A-frame on mine. Couldn't hurt to look.
Look at the upper left corner on
this page to see a sample of the very simple VINs that used to fly. The example given is "20 (T)D 2 V NNNN." V stands for the plant at Versailles, OH. NNNN is the sequential production number for the given year -- a numerical sequence that doesn't necessarily start at 0001 for any given model.
