More info - I'm not sure of the year but the tag that was on the

That VIN is correct for a 1972 Squareback.

	What is the VIN stamped in the metal under the rear seat?

A 1972 Squareback's engine would drag on the ground without the rear engine carrier -- unless someone has added tranny frame horns like on a Beetle, or if your car is some sort of Frankensteined beast built on an older swing axle pan. (...or an older car entirely w/ an incorrect '72 VIN on the body... or a couple of other very unlikely scenarios.)

To be sure -- are you talking about the engine support that runs from the left side to the right side across the whole engine bay (late/irs), or the anti-torque mount that connects to the body closer to the center, near the engine's oil breather (early/swing axle)?
