Can't find the cage number

Yes, I meant the previous owners.

But, unfortunately, POS does pretty accurately describe the car right now. The guy who helped me transport it calls it a 'boat anchor.'

As soon as I get the car back in Orlando, I'll let anyone who wants to look at it do so. I'm open to all advice... and need as much help as I can get

If you know if the car was raced, some where the log book number was entered. Do a search for the prior driver results. Call the nice people on the reg form. Sorry , just read never raced.
Sounds like you have a new car..
IN CFR. The tech guy put the # on ths pas side door bar, near the hoop, but on the side bar.
If all else fails. Lean in the pas door and put your left hand where it is easy to reach. Most tech guys punch the # in a fairly easy place to hit with a hammer.
Good luck. MM
