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 😉 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 ---

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. ---
