Kathy & Rick Posted February 23, 2011 Share #421 Posted February 23, 2011 Still not many late '71s. My red car is the only 7/71 car, and the only car in a 5000 car span (35-40000).I agree, Arne; that does seem to be a big span with only a few numbersaccounted for. I don't know of any good reason for it, such as a run ofZ Cars that all rusted out prematurely, or something along those lines. I could offer half a dozen cars from this website, and a few more from ZHome,but that's about it. I guess that some people just don't want to enter theirinformation in the grid for some reason. I can see quite a few vacancies ofpeople whose cars I know quite well, but I don't feel at liberty to fill in theinformation for them.Two or three cars from a club I belonged to years ago have similar VINnumbers to your car, but I don't even know whether the same ownersstill own those cars now! Probably not, that was over 30 years ago.All Z Best,..........................Kathy & Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warcmalla Posted February 23, 2011 Share #422 Posted February 23, 2011 I have a 7/71 parts car. VIN number HLS30-37832, which is pretty close to Arne's. Also red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathy & Rick Posted February 25, 2011 Share #426 Posted February 25, 2011 Here's a note for you to put in your records: THESE NUMBERS ARE MEANINGLESS WITHOUT THEIR PREFIXES.Everybody, PRETTY PLEASE!, state your PREFIX along with the body serial number.Alan, you're absolutely right; my bad.:stupid: I keep forgetting that thereare other chassis/model designations which are prefixes for the actual VINserial numbers. I'm also guilty of forgetting that Z lovers from other nationsmight be reading the posts, such as yourself. Please forgive, as I meant no offense. Correction: no OFFENCE.BTW I omitted the HLS30 from the signature below since we are limited to a certain number of characters. When I tried to add it in, it was rejectedby reason of too many characters, so I had to go back to where I was.Sorry about that, too; I tried.

Kathy & Rick Posted February 25, 2011 Share #427 Posted February 25, 2011 It's all in the spreadsheet.....http://www.editgrid.com/user/mlwilliams/Z_Car_RegistryJohnny, thank you for giving all of us the "heads-up".The last few times I went to the spreadsheet was several months ago. Even though I had entered our data, I found on succeeding visits thatsome kind soul had altered our information; and as I scrolled down, I also found a great many errors of varying types.So I not only didn't visit it any more; I had forgotten that it had existed.It looks very neat and orderly now. Someone must have gone to a greatdeal of effort to sort out the turmoil that had evolved; and if that personreads this post, I want to compliment him publicly for some nice work.All Z Best,.............................Kathy & Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpilati Posted February 25, 2011 Share #428 Posted February 25, 2011 What sense does it make to have a thread on VIN's, who's going to keep track of all the numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjohnson2444 Posted February 25, 2011 Share #429 Posted February 25, 2011 Bryan, we each document our own numbers on this spreadsheet:http://www.editgrid.com/user/mlwilliams/Z_Car_Registry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted February 25, 2011 Share #430 Posted February 25, 2011 I think that is Bryan's point. Since there is the online spreadsheet now, there is no need to keep updating this old thread where the numbers are not compiled and, unless you want to look through 18 pages of posts, the info is pretty meaningless.-Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjohnson2444 Posted February 25, 2011 Share #431 Posted February 25, 2011 I am new to the forum and would not have known to go to the online spreadsheet if it weren't for this thread. And look, we all keep checking in on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted February 25, 2011 Share #432 Posted February 25, 2011 There is also a thread about the online spreadsheet http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2751 and it is mentioned in several others, so it was just by chance that you saw this old VIN thread instead of one about the spreadsheet, because someone posted to it. I don't think anyone checks on this thread, they just look at it again when someone new finds it and brings it up again. Some people have links to the online spread sheet in their signatures, but there really is no good way to direct people new to the site to it.-Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
