Thanks everyone
Yes RoKWiz, JG42GJ21580 is correct.. a "C" follows this
I understand now when the VINs were introduced
But how do you check if the vehicle is free of all titles ?

(not stolen or money owed) ?
I know its closing the gate after the horse has bolted..but
I have all 3 photos of the plates (including the GAS plate)
Will try to decipher the original build
Thanks for your input and help
