1966 Chevelle Vehicle Identification Number

Vehicle Identification Number

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is unique to each vehicle and describes the manufacturer, series designation, body style, engine, year of production, assembly plant and production number. It should be riveted to the A-pillar, next to the door hinge, on the drivers side with special 'rosette' rivets.

Decoding The Numbers

The VIN consists of 13 numbers and characters if it was manufactured in America, or 12 numbers and characters if it was manufactured in Canada.

American built put the manufacturer 1st. For example: 138176Z100001 decodes this way: 1 / 38 / 17 / 6 / Z / 100001.

Canadian built put the year of production 1st. For example: 613817050001 decodes this way: 6 / 1 / 38 / 17 / 0 / 50001.
