classic car VIN search

How can I search the VIN for a " classic car "… pre 1980

any info would be helpful?

I have searched but alot of VIN sites don’t pull up the all MODELS??

What do you want to know?? Do you want to decode a VIN?? Your best bet will be to look up forums specific to the model of car you’re looking for. Google tends to be pretty helpful for this.

Well I bought another car, ( its not really a BIG deal ) and was just curious about the VIN plus I am really not sure what I would find with a VIN search. BUT WHAT THE HECK

What exactly is decoding a VIN? I guess I will search that…but hey you could tell me too :wink:

i am a part of a model specific forum…just thought I would ask some of you around here.

vin decoding you’ll be able to find out build date, place, what motor it was built with, what specific model, etc etc

tells you the type of car, the chassis, it’s order in the build sequence, which country, etc…

so is that all the VIN tells you about a car?

yes and options

Don’t want to say what it is?

lol…well, I’m dying to but I pick it up Sat. morning…then I will post pics and such hehe. Not that it matters, but I’m so geeked!!!

oh but the “no big deal” thing…I was just referring to the VIN

s2k

HA…

no remember the name of the thread…I’m looking for a classic VIN search. An s2k is above a 2000.

a vin doesnt tell you options.

here is an example of what a vin tells you: this is for an 83 Hurst Olds

1G3AK479XDM000000

1 - Manufactured in USA
G - Manufactured by General Motors
3 - Oldsmobile Division
AK - Cutlass Calais
47 - Coupe - 2 Door Notchback Special (Body Type Restraint System)
9 - 5.0L V8 4bbl (High Output) engine
X - Check Digit
D - 1983 model year
M - Assembled at Lansing, MI
000000 - Sequential Build Number

every car built for the US starts with a 1

well with pre-1980 vehicles the VIN is not 17 digits

either way… that info provided above would be interesting, but I pretty much now what I want to about the model. Although it would be neat to know where it was built…

I just couldn’t find a site for the MAKE of the car and it being less than 17 digits.

the link above doesn’t offer info for my car…oh well

well what kinda car are we talking about?

it says on the trunk :kekegay:

i know of a site that will point you in the right direction… i’d post the link, but it would ruin your suprise :slight_smile:

If u would just say what it is then MAYBE we could be of assistance, geez woman, lol

Its not such a big surprise, but I just would rather post it all at once. I know I am being a girl!

you brat…
SEND ME THE LINK PLEAAAAAAAAASEE…
