VIN decode

anyone know of a good online resource for VIN number decoders? figured I'd ask while on the intermajig at work. thanks!

whoops, thats not vins.

 

from what I've seen, each kind of car will have a different vin sequence, and you will only find info about Chevys on chevy web pages, and info about Fords on ford web pages, etc.

and I think some of the books I have will give more info than you'll find on a web page, and with a lot less work...post a vin, leave Xs for the last few digits if you're worried about privacy, and I or someone else will help decode it for you. I have books that cover 50s-80s.

 

thanks. I'll PM if I need help. just thought I'd try looking up while on the computer.

 

You can get a book from the National Insurance Crime Bureau which will help decode VINS. They might have an on-line search as well. I'm not sure how far back their current book goes, but they are as good as any place to start. I think I have books that cover the past 15-20 years somewhere
