As far as the VIN, in the US, you have to show the title to your car and sign a book that you got a key make before you can get one. It isn't a simple thing to have a key made. It takes much more than a VIN to apply for a list title as well. The VIN doesn't really have much personal info at all. It just shows the order of manufacture, year manufactured, trim, FWD or AWD etc. It can tell me whatever I need to know about the car if you understand it. The AMC can do very much the same and because they did not give a VIN to some shipped to different countries, the AMC shows much of the same information.
Our biggest problem is that members don't put down the AMC even though we have asked for it. There really hasn't been much interest in what we have been doing along those lines.  Some of us of course are very interested in all of this and more.
I will also get the other car on the list that you gave info on. Thanks
Now with all of that said, Ron, when are you going to register yours?  |
Hi Earl,
First, I'm guessing that you have maybe 8 AMCodes:
CXWAY7E, BY7E, CY7E, DY7E, EY7E, FY7E, CXWA23E, and a LS AMCode.
Okay, I'm a bit paranoid, alot, but didn't you see Gone-in-60-seconds
?
We have had SVX reported on this board to be stolen, not just the one where the thief found the key, we don't know how or why.
What exactly does a VIN tell you, that interests you? This is a sincere question.
A VIN can retrieve much personal info, that seems inappropriate, like location of the car, and is often, but not always linked to key codes. Worse yet, US cars have the VIN in plain view. If you believe these cars will really be worth something someday, these questions could be relevant.
I have had no trouble getting keys made, and I would believe that not everyone with access to VINs and therefore, key codes would refuse a proper payoff? How well was that Pace Car guarded?
More seriously, IF WE UNDERSTOOD AND LISTED the following, wouldn't APPLIED MODEL, OPTION CODE, TRIM CODE, COLOR CODE, ENGINE TYPE, TRANSMISSION TYPE, adding MANUFACTURE DATE and ORIGINAL COUNTRY, tell us EVERYTHING WE NEED TO KNOW?
I would be happy to register my cars by providing the complete list above
!
Would that be enough information?
Isn't everything we really need to know, to understand and compare SVX WORLD-WIDE right there, on that plate? We just haven't looked at all of it yet, or compared it yet, so, we don't understand it yet.
I do agree, that on a limited production model, like a US-93, that it is interesting to see who has #3, or #300, etc., I get that
I would like to EXPAND this thread to collect ALL INFORMATION on the strut tower, including and especially including ENGINE and TRANS TYPE. I know much about the trans types, nothing about the engine types.
I believe that the Registration Form should modified, on all threads, to include the SIX numbers on the strut plate, plus the Manufacture date on those cars that show it. You and Joe have already created Color code pages, etc.,
With the above information, a master file can show markets have what engine, trans, can show what Color and Trim codes mean, etc.
Also, could we move this thread to REGISTRATION?
