VIN is sometimes hard to read
Your question got me curious so I went and looked at my 1988 MKiii. My windshield is original and there is a 4-inch gap in the black edging just over the steering column that reveals the VIN plate. When I first looked (in the garage) all I could see was a plate fastened with 2 rivets and overwritten many times with "Toyota". The plate was there, but I could not see the VIN. I got a flashlight and at the right angle, I could see the VIN finely etched in what looked like a piece of glass or plastic. Sort of like a watermark? Look again, and if you want, I can upload a picture.

VIN location in 4-places (at least)
In addition to the location on the dash which is visible in the lower windshield, there are at least 3 other places on my 88 Supra. The most permanent is a plate on the driver's side door post (by the latch). This plate has the date of manufacture as well as the VIN. There are two other stickers in the engine compartment on either side attached to the right and left fenders which also have the VIN.
The plate on the bulkhead has some numbers but does not contain the VIN.
