VIN Vehicle Identification Number Discussion 

Much as I love the '67 Mustang I bought; I bought it BECAUSE I can't afford a '68 Charger. Love me some Mopar, but I'm poor. It's amazing to me how so much of classic car knowledge was dependent on a lady protecting all this information from getting tossed out with the trash. Great video!

Cam!!! And Jeff, you guys are the best car comedy standup, I just watched a video in vin numbers... love you guys!

Great episode guys. You also get the assembly line anomalies as well. A friend work on the ford line in the early seventies. Sometimes if one of the workers new car was coming down the line near a police car the 351 was "accidently" swapped for the 302.🤣

VIN/data numbers, something near & dear to my heart. Last week ran across data tag info for my W code '68 GTE Cougar, per one of Don Rush's friends, It's alive and well. Yes it's the one I shed a little tear when I think about(paid $450 in '77, car lot thought it had a 390). I've owned a '69 Fairlane 500 equipped with 351 4bbl, 4-speed & 3.25 Traction lock. Also CJ '69 Torino GT & Drag Pack '69 Cobra Q code with 4.30 gear(yes I have tag info, even dealer sales invoice for Cobra). I don't have a Marti for my Cobra, build sheet tells me everything I want to know. I did get one for my '69 Fairlane, wanted to see how many had two tone paint. Less than impressed with listing(description) of options(I have orig window sticker). In the meh dept, owned a '76 Stang that was #26 searlized at Dearborn. A basic half motor stripper, I believe it's only option was a AM radio.

Thanks Jeff, good information, thanks for sharing...

just say love you guy ..........it like we been hang out for years w(well have in videos but you know what i mean ) thanks for the laughs

This information on the lack of information is some what surprising! Thankfully though I don't have any paperwork with my '63 Fairlane the VIN and other "plates" on the vehicle gives me info even down to the interior colors.

Nic vid Jeff. I am working on some other directions to discover more info on the car (Camaro in the video) but this will be a real slog in any case. Piece by piece.

I would like to find the fate of a car my older brother once had. I don't know the VIN. But it was a 1969 Ford XLGT Fastback, 429 4v, automatic in Gulfstream Aqua. He ordered it through a Ford dealer in Golden, CO (Golden Motors). It had a black stripe, black vinyl roof, black vinyl interior with bucket seats, power steering and brakes. Not sure about A/C. Stereo radio. Ordered in late '68 or early '69. It took 6 months to deliver. How do I determine the VIN for that?

Thanks for the great information, and good luck with the channel.

The Marti report is a sound investment; if someone is making fantastic claims about a 1967-2006 FoMoCo and doesn't produce one, RUN AWAY! The Marti report for my 302 Cougar shows a fleet order for a car bucked in August 1967, so maybe it was for a car rental agency. For some reason, the Marti report didn't mention the chrome trim, front bumper guards, or the (factory appearing) vinyl roof. My guess is that since production was delayed over two months by the strike at the engine factory, the extras may have been added to appease a customer with the bucks to make a fleet order. The Marti report also has "gee whiz" trivia, so I visited the address of the dealership that first sold it. :) It's now a parking lot for Dallas County jurors.

There is a Thunderbird Registry. That's how I first found my M&D's '64 T-bird, about 8 yrs ago and found it again at a Mecum auction in Indy, 5 yrs later. It had been completely restored to a Resto-Mod. and had gone from Brittany Blue to Silver and Green. I contacted the dealer in Iowa and talked to him about it and emailed him copies of the bill of sale and the Data card. He sent an email about a year later letting me know the car was sold and going to Dubai.

Im trying to find my lost 1970 Monte Carlo. My vin shows up as a 2004 travel trailer. How can I get past this. The car was lost 20 years ago. HELP!

My 64 Fairlane also has the Vin stamped inside the engine bay, drivers side!

Have a Buick riviera and would like decode the vin number.

😂 Mopar Envy? That was pretty funny. [Many decisions mad by arrogant execs in the ivory towers of Detroit. Early 70s, I remember talking to a GM sales exec flying back from a "we are pumped" weeknd in MI. The pres or chief exec was asked if Toyota or VW was a threat? "No way! No how!" ... ]

Oh boy you're talking about vinnie

I bought a 66 mustang and the body ID is off the door where can i get that information as far as paint code and so on the ID is under the hood as far as model and engin id t code. ?

GM dealers regularly added SS identification on regular vehicles. Made $$$ Tricked buyers.

I have a 1967 Ford f-100 with no paint code # on the vin. Was told when a vehicle was ordered with a factory custom color, the vin code was left blank. Is that true?

I have ‘70 Mercury Cougar XR7 Civic and Government Affairs Vehicle ordering district. Value Increase? 351 MCode Cleveland. Trying to see engine match? Location of numbers?

I have a couple f100 cabs with no door tags 🤔 how would you get the vin?

Do you know how to register a car with no VIN, I have the title, but the VIN has been cut away and lost long ago

So I knew they built both Camaro and Firebirds at Norwood Ohio . They also built the Bel Air , Biscayne, Caprice , Impala , Nova , and Buick Apollo .

I have 3 Fords with Q in the VIN, 3 with R, and 3 with S. All have running six cylinders under the hood. My friends make fun of me for being an idjit. Is there a support group for doinks like me? Thanks.

I have a Marti report that says my 73 mustang was ordered by the federal government, any idea what department would have had them?

Selling a 69 coupe and the vin shows it’s a 69 but every FB keyboard warrior insists that I am selling a 70. This is because of the side marker light cut-outs in the fenders. (One of one) what should I market it as? Granted it’s a hot piece of crap. Will the repair frame panels for a 67-8 fit/work on the frame rails for the vinned 69?

Here's one for you. My buddy has a 67 Cougar, verified VIN on the fender with no indication of tampering. Have the Marti report verifying that it's a early 67 car with a 289 automatic. However, all indications are that it's a 68 with a 302. Had the interior of a 68, fender turn signals, the 68 tension control rods...everything other than the VIN say 68. Speculation is that it was an internal car and was sent to Shelby for some reason. Anybody got any ideas?

If police steel from the truck and they claim to be religious what's worse theft or the sin

GM Vin # problem whatever.

I’d like to watch this…it would be nice if you two would stop giggling like two teen age girls!

Unwatchable. Don't waste your time.

You are not funny
