If you're talking about the VIN decoder, is it the one furnished here on the forum? If so, did you see this when you were using it:?

What is a VIN?

VIN stands for Vehicle Identification Number and, since 1981, is expressed as a 17-character serial number. Each of the positions in a VIN describes a specific aspect of the vehicle

You may need to take this up with the folks in the C1/C2 section of the forum.

VIN is 194676s102053

It's a 1966 convertible, the 2053'rd one built.

Would have been built in early October of 1965.... for the 66 model year.
