My vin says it's a gvr4 but doesn't say anything about the date it was made....

Quoting Diego:
You will never figure that out.
If you think Diego is joking..he's not. Unless your car had been previously registered on here and in iceman's registry if it still had a badge at the time, then you would have a chance. These cars were numbered randomly from the factory.

They were numbered at port not at the factory. No one can say if they were numbered 1,2,3 or 1,332,etc... If we have some way of finding that out its down at the bottom but I don't recall reading anything like that on it.

That's a bummer, eh? I just detailed the inside and I can still see the ring where the plate used to be. Sucks.....

oregon rule on Collector cars
General Information: This plate is issued to a vehicle that is maintained as a collector's item and is at least 25 years old at the time of application, a vehicle sanctioned as a vehicle of special interest by an established organization that provides for recognition, or is a street rod as defined by ORS 801.513. This plate is also issued to a vehicle that is a racing activity vehicle as defined in Oregon law. Vehicles may only be used for exhibitions, parades, club activities and similar uses.
Plate Fees: $12 (one plate issued)
Available For: Passenger Vehicles, Motor Homes, Buses, Mopeds, Motorcycles, Trucks, Travel Trailers, Campers, Special Use Trailers, Heavy Trailers and Light Trailers.
Now my insurance agent said at the start of 2012 when my car becomes 20 years old I can do collector insurace on it. I'm limited to the amount of miles I can drive in a year. No big deal to me because the car did not see more them 500 this year. My rates drop to almost nothing. I don't remember how much. But any thing is better then the $75 I'm paying right now for FC on a car that just sits.

I was looking on the different VIN tags on my car and I found underneath the main VIN a 3 number code matching on all the tags. Mine is 535. I know everyone says there is no way of knowing what # you have unless you have either the plate on the dash or the original key tag, but I was curious to see if there is any correlation. A little off topic I know, so sorry about that.

I went to look at mine just because you brought this up, mine does not have this at all anywhere on the vin's.

My Plymouth Colt checks out properly. Just wish there was more information that would show up.
Have not had CAPS installed in a long time, and never tried the new Chrysler/ASA parts program yet either.
My older colts won't work in the decoder because they only have 13 digit VINs..

I wonder if Iceman has your vin saved on file... maybe one of the POs took the time to stamp yours.....
