Al,
I don't know where to find this info, so I'm asking here. I have found a car I am interested in up here in Canada. Here is the VIN they sent me:
1363701553187
It does not look like anything I have in my book "Chevelle SS Restoration Guide."

Can you help decode it?
Thanks,
john

you should post that in the tag team forum for more accurate/more responses.

but from my experience there should be a letter or two in the vin. maybe it is different up in cananda.

Where is it? Cann't find it at the chevelles.com page? Sorry,

John. Where you clicked on chevelle tech, just scroll down a bit

I think you should have posted this on "Tag Team" forum..

But here is the answer anyways:

The year is 1970.
The make is Chevrolet.
The model is a Chevelle Malibu 2-door colonnade hardtop coupe.
The motor is a V-8. ( motors are not decodable by VIN.)
It was manufactured in Oshawa, Ont. (Toronto).
The production sequence number is 553187.

If the 7th digit is a 1, then it is a Candaian built car (Oshawa, ON).

check this link for verifying the car's authenticity. http://www.chevelles.com/vvs/index.html

More information can be obtained from the cowl tag (under the hood near the driver's side hinge) Post those #s in the tag team for more info (scroll down from the link you clicked to get into this forum).
