found a title in my name,..
I looked through the bmv records and apparently I may have had a corvette titled to me in 96, as the record is still there it is unlikely that it got a new title or switched owners..
vin 1Z37U8K430371 This is a corvette vin correct?.. not sure what to make of it really, is there a way to find the car?.. Thanks. :ack: |
Ask the BMV. They have all the records. If it's titled in your name (NOT someone else with the same name... :toetap:), then they should be willing to help you find it.

It's probably a case of similar names. A ticket agent at Delta Air Lines did a search years ago for my frequent flyer miles number(I have an unusual middle name), and hundreds of exact matches were found in their data base.

vin 1Z37U8K430371 This is a corvette vin correct?.. The "1" indicates Chevrolet, the "Z" would normally indicate a Corvette, and "37" is the designation for a 2 door sport coupe body, but the rest of the VIN does not fit for a Corvette. The "U" is a 305 (145hp), "8" is the 1978 model year, "K" is the Leeds MO assembly plant, and 430371 is the build sequence number. The "U" and "K" cannot be a Corvette. No 78 Corvettes were ever built with a 305, they were all 350's. While the Leeds, MO assembly plant built Malibu's, Monte Carlo's and El Camino's, but not Corvettes. The second digit would be a "T" for a Malibu, an "H" for a Monte Carlo and a "W" for an El Camino or Malibu wagon. I'm guessing that the VIN belongs to a 305 powered, 78 Monte Carlo or 2 door Malibu, and that someone at Motor Vehicles, typed a "Z" in to the VIN by mistake? :thumbs: |
"Creative" VIN plate reworking? :hide:

I think gbvette is correct. My vin had the z changed to an x when it was first plated. It can happen - especially in the days before computers.
|
My VIN on my title is wrong. Just found out. It's been wrong since 1978!
|
Also experienced a wrong VIN on a car I bought and it was discovered importing the car into Canada - major hassle :ack:
