Hi there 1995BostonGreenti,


While browsing thru this website have you ever stumbled across Mallard's VIN number decoding thread?
I think it is the oldest, longest running, largest thread here and I have used it many times myself,
It is a great resource. Check it out. And thank you Mallard for continuing to do this for us!
