Generally speaking "numbers matching" refers to the portion of the VIN that is stamped into the engine and trans. If these numbers match the VIN then the car has it's original engine and trans. This would matter to a serious collector that would want a vehicle that is in totally original condition. I'm not sure on the Glide but the numbers on the block will be on a pad directly in front of the right side cylinder head. If the block has ever been decked, you could have a blank pad.
