Still, to drive a cart on the road, you need to register for a VIN.
If the serial number plate has been removed, you can confirm it is a 1975-1980 model if it has two brake pedals and one accelerator pedal. Instead of VINs, golf carts have serial numbers, which are mostly interchangeable. On Club Car Golf Carts prior to 1981, you can find the serial number by raising the seat and locating the aluminum, I-beam frame section closest to the batteries on the drivers side of the car. VINs are only necessary for road-ready vehicles.
