There's a VIN tag on the drivers side of the dash that's visible through the windshield. In the front trunk, on top of the footbox that the master and clutch cyl attach to, the VIN is stamped into the metal. On the drivers door jam is a rivited plastic tag that has the VIN and build date. The VIN starts with THPN.
