The remaining numbers are a serial number that is unique to the individual vehicle. Los Angeles (Van Nuys), CA Production Plant (L) The first part of the VIN is descriptive: 107376L = Chevrolet (1) Corvair Corsa (07) 2-Door Coupe (37) 1966 (6) It required all on-road vehicles sold to contain a 17-character VIN, which does not include the letters O (o), I (i), and Q (q) (to avoid confusion with numerals 0, 1, and 9).Īnd as mentioned earlier the VIN tag is on the driver's side door jamb on Early Model (EM) Corvairs from 1960-1964. In 1981, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the United States standardized the format. Up to that time, states used the engine number to register and title cars and trucks which became a problem if the engine was replaced, which was fairly common at the time. In 1954, at the request of the US government, US car manufacturers and the Automobile Manufacturers Association were involved in the creation of the new, standardized vehicle identification numbering system named the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) with an agreed upon digit sequence and concealed chassis markings of this VIN. Typically, the VIN is fixed to a metal plate and the code displayed so that anyone can read it from the outside of the vehicle looking in. The most common place to find a VIN is on your vehicle's dashboard, specifically near where the dashboard meets the edge of the windshield on the driver's side.

I don't even need to know any information, I just need to know which VIN is the correct one so I can (or get my dad to) request a duplicate title. I have tried many VIN search sites but a majority of them want a 17 digit VIN. I can’t make out that 2nd to the last number. It is a 65 Corvair, owner's last name Porter. I was able to get a partial off the frame but I can’t read some of the numbers. My dad refurbished the car and the Door Decal (VIN) is gone and he can’t seem to find the title. I was gifted a 1965 Corvair from my dad, which is/was supposedly in my Grandfather’s name (he passed away quite a few years ago). I am looking for 13 Digit VIN information.
