Double-check to make sure that you have the right VIN and have copied it down correctly. Once you have verified that the VIN is definitely less than 17 characters, the VIN is most likely from a pre-1981 vehicle.

Prior to 1981, VINs varied in length from 11 to 17 characters. Auto Vin Expert can only report on vehicles that use a 17 character VIN. Therefore, information on vehicles manufactured before 1981 is limited.
