IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, SCOTT'S CAR IS 106 WHICH IF THEY FOLLOWED ALL GUIDELINES, THE LAST THREE DIGITS WERE PRODUCTION NUMBERS WHICH MADE HIS CAR THE SIXTH CAR MADE, NOT THE 106TH CAR MADE. THIS MAY HELP YOU WITH THE DISCREPANCY OF THE NUMER PRODUCED.
MOST VIN NUMBERS INFER THAT THE LAST 4 DIGITS WERE THE PRODUCTION NUMBERS. KNOWING SCOTT'S NUMBER INDICATES THAT THEY USED THE LAST 3 NUMBERS AS PRODUCTION AND MAYBE THE 4TH AS A YEAR NUMBER.
HEY WHAT THE HECK DO I KNOW???? FOR A BEER OR 24 I WILL GET THE ANSWER
OKAY FOR THE EDIT, AFTER RE READING, NOTICE THE SERIAL NUMBER...FIRST 3 NUMBERS ARE 123. NO ONE WOULD NOTICE A 0006 AS THE MODEL BUT WOULD PAY ATTENTION TO 3106, NOT KNOWING THAT THE CARS WITH THAT PRODUCTION NUMBER WOULD HAVE TO BE CRASH TESTED.
ALSO NOTICE THAT THE NUMBER OF DIGITS IN THE SERIAL NUMBER CORRESPONDS WITH THE NUMBER OF DIGITS OR LETTERS THAT WERE USED IN THE SIXTIES CARS...NO LESS THAN 5 NO MORE THAN 7. GO FIGURE????
