What kind of "decoding" are you looking for? Before 72 there wasnt really that much info imbedded in the vin. 72 on included the engine option.

The NCRS Wisconsin chapter has a birthday calculator (does not work for 69 - 73) that is kind of neat. :cool:

Welcome aboard! If you have any questions on a 1979 let me know. I have owned mine for >10 years and picked up a little bit of knowledge along the way. ;)
