SCCA VIN Requirements

I have had some problems with my VIN numbers...they don't match.
I bought the car last year after it was sitting in a garage for over 2 years.It has had an annual tech done every year since built and noone has ever caught this until i bought it.
Talked to the original owner about it and said he replaced the dash in it about a year after it was built and never thought about keeping the VIN.

Now it is noteed in the log book of only 1 VIN# and the one on the door frame is the correct one.
 
When i had the motor out last month i looked everywhere on the fire wall and no vin# not all vw had 3 vins...some where on the fire wall and some where even on the inside rear quarter panels if they had 3 locations.

Prior to 1981, when the standard format VIN# was adopted, water-cooled VWs (at least those sold in the US), had a VIN# stamped on the p/s top of the strut tower. After that, they moved the stamping to the top center of the 'rain tray'. This was in addition to the dash plaque and the d/s B-pillar sticker.
