Vintage Cars: Vin locations, 1967 ford galaxie, ford clubs

Question
I have a 1967 Ford Galaxie XL with 38,857 original miles. I am the third owner of this car and I want to verify that the motor is original. Where are the numbers I need to see located?

Answer
Here is one site with some good info:

Just about every part has a casting number with a date casting too.

and another excellent site:

Check with Hemmings.com ( I recommend you buy a copy of the magazine it is great reading) for books on 60's Fords.

Also google Ford Clubs and join some of them.

Good luck, it sounds like an interesting car.
