FTO AUSTRALIA

I love FTOs and i'm looking to buy one tommorow. its a 1995 FTO GR, tiptronic, DOHC 24 valve v6, etc. engine model 6A12.

I checked it out today and got the chassis number stamped into the car, plus the engine number/chassis number on the plate inside the engine bay.

Now I just need to check the engine identification number on the actual engine to make sure they match up. However I couldn't find it, and neither could the seller

. Anyone know approximately where this number is located? it should be around 10 digits long, e.g. 6A12AP8308.

cheers

Its stamped on the engine block, just below the front head (on the gearbox end of the block.) Sorta between the oil fitler bracket & the head.

Red is a nice colour for the FTO imo. I think I might buy one and give the yellow to the misses
