Amazingly, she is right...

This is not the VIN, it is the body number. The VIN is found on the driver's
side of the windscreen, and again on a plate found just below the door catch
on the driver's side. These plates are riveted on...
Check to see if you have either of these plates and compare them against
the number on the title. Incidentally, TRF sells blank reproductions
of the door jamb plate...
As an example of the numbers, my '75 spit has 69755FM on the plate under
the hood and FM30513U on the title, windscreen and door plate.
Good luck,
Mike
