Question for Ed or Charley or anyone in the know
 

On the COPO.com site, under VINs, why do most have the xxx after the first three digits? Sorry if this has been answered before. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

I'm guessing he just wants to keep it private.

When they built the COPOs, all the number stamps were broken, so they used X's. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The ones that are xxx are listed as Destroyed or they don't know the whereabouts so there are no fakes made i believe [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif[/img]

I gotcha, thanks for the info. So if one would find a Camaro with the 3 beginning numbers, say 614, does that make it a COPO/Supercar or how does one determine that then, just by going off of the VIN? Sorry if this is remedial, but I would like to know or get to know as much as possible and this is the best place to learn. One never knows [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

Terry the 614 is the first three#s of the serial # the last three could be any #s this just shows you where the cars were # wise Kim

I do not publish entire vin's on cars that I have paperwork on but have no registered owners. However, I have listed a partial vin for these cars for informational purposes. That is the reason for the "xxx"'s. I only list owners as private if they request it. The Canada thing I have to work on. Pete? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
