The other day I was on E-Bay looking at an El Camino and couldn't find a way to decode the VIN. I found some sites with general decoding but notihng that told me every digit.

Any links?

...my vin is 1gtcw80hbz500700 any explaination?
You seem to have too many letters and numbers. Your 81 VIN should not have 16 characters. Are you reading it from the VIN tag at the bottom of the windshield?
