Question for Ed or Charley or anyone in the know

[Terry24]

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. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

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. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

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

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 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

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I do not publish entire vin's on cars that I have paperwork on but have no registered owners.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? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
