Default Decode VINs Automatically!

Check out the VIN Decode feature at the C3 Vette Registry!
Just plug in the Year and VIN and it will give you a break out of the VIN and tell you what it all means.

Plus, if the VIN is for a 1981 or later Corvette, it will use the Check Digit to tell you if the VIN is valid or not.

You can find it at:

Cool Adam! :D How does it do the digit decoder? Is it linked with a database or is there a secret formula? :lol:

Juliet,
yes, it is linked to a database. And as far as how it does it, lets just say it took about 12 hours of programming to get it to work! :rolleyes:

I know it is not your fault, but I registered (for FREE), then the next screen is requesting payment. What gives? and I still could not run my VIN. :confused:
