Decode Your Classic VIN the Easy Way

August 19, 2023

What is one of the first things you look for when checking out a car for a potential purchase? For me, I always want to decode the VIN. The Vehicle Identification Number has all sorts of useful data. This can tell you the manufacturer, model, body style, what kind of engine it was built with, where it was built, and more.

One way to figure out how to decode your VIN is to do it manually. Just google your car year make and model and “vin decoder” and you will find a website that has a table for you to decode it manually. That works but it’s not always exact and takes a good amount of time. In addition, you can’t just bookmark one site for all your classic car VIN decoding needs. For each different car, you need a different table to decode the VIN manually.

ClassicVINDecoder.com is a new website that can decode your classic VIN for you. All cars and trucks from 1950-1980 are supported and best of all there’s no ads. Bookmark this site and you will never have to find a decoding table again. For example, we looked up RM22, our 1969 Chevelle:
