Decode A 1966 Chevelle

The Vehicle Identification Amount, or VIN symbol, is typically fix on the door hinge assign on the Chauffeur's side of the vehicle. This number should match what is in your registration and on your label/price of sale. Lastly, a "38" will show the 8-cylinder SS 396 version.3. The next two numbers, the fourth and fifth digits, are body style.



The headmost cipher should be a "1". This shows that the motorcar's manufacturer is Chevrolet.


2. The two numbers Testament be for the series that the vehicle was in. A "31" is for a 6-cylinder Chevelle 300 series/El Camino, with a "32" showing an 8-cylinder story. A "33" is a 6-cylinder Chevelle 300 deluxe/El Camino/Wagon, with a "34" life the 8-cylinder narration. A "35" is the 6-cylinder Malibu/Custom El Camino/Wagon and the "36" is the 8-cylinder version. This is the symbol that is used to decode your Chevelle. There should be 13 digits to the cipher.
