I spent the last 3 days ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) ) adding new VIN numbers to our database that i collected from all over the internet and out of various print publications ...
i added over 300 new VINs! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)

i also cleaned up the database and made some changes to the interface.
most notably, you can now list all '74 Limited Edition Cars separately and the display for them is now color coded. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

you can add as many VIN numbers as you like. we'd like to hear about all your cars, past and present. even the ones you cut up.
and if you came across a car in a junkyard or a field and you got the VIN number off of it, please PM one of the VIN admins so we can add those to the database as well.


special thanks goes to Rob Watson for sending me a comprehensive list of '74 cars! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Gotta a quick question for you Andy. I did a search of my VIN (#4732902869) before I went and just started plunking information in, and it turns out the VIN is already listed by the prior owner. How would you like me to go about updating it? Or would you just like me to make a new entry? I did notice that he didn't have much information (such as all of the build tag info) other than the VIN.

Just add the info under your own name, and we can delete the association with the old owner.
