Dear, the parts I just sold paid for that part ;)  Group: Members Posts: 1,568 Joined: 26-December 02 From: Williamsburg, VA Member No.: 16  |
Has someone started a database of VIN numbers out there? It would be a good source to track the ownership of cars and maybe find alittle history.
I don't mind putting some time in but don't want to duplicate efforts. I have 3 vin numbers I would like to enter (2 parts cars that will never be on the road again and my driver) Cheers (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) |

Yeah, that just shows the current owners though...if someone buys the car, it changes. It'd be a good idea to start a database that had dates attached to the car, and when/where it god bought/sold along the way.
I'm game to build it if anyone is interested... |

I could register '914DATABASE.COM'. It is available...would it be worth the effort? Maybe show timelines and such...upload pics...add all the options on the car...Could be cool.

I have been keeping a database for 20 years now. I do have some names in it, but it is very hard to keep things current. When Jeff Bowlsby set up the LE Registry we used my list as a foundation and included names. Now he has dropped the names for privacy reasons, but we still try to keep our private lists current with ownership.
In my list the data is extensive and includes all serial number, date codes, colours, trim level options and modifications. It certainly is more comprehensive than the factory Cardex. Most people, when asked, give me the data I want. I don't have a lot of time to ask everyone though. Feel free to send me the data you have. |

there is also an extensive database of 914.6 VIN's - although neither of my cars - on purchased through an ad in Panorama - were in it...

Actually, just looking at the 914SIG website, and membership is free, you don't have to be a PCA member, and they won't publish any of your info if that is your preference.
