Hey guys,
Went to a VW show today and saw a couple 914s. Pretty cool, nothing spectacular. The only owner I met really knew nothing about his car but he swore that it was a factory racecar in the 1970s and he actually owns a "GT" too. Whatever.

I just wanted to know, when we find other 914s out there that aren't in the DB, is there a process to adding them if they aren't OUR car? I just added one, but it shows up under my name. Is this going to be a problem if the owner shows up on here down the road and I've already "claimed" their car?

Go ahead and add them under your own name and then PM an admin. in the comments put what you know about the car...

I tried to add my vin to the data base and the po is listed as the owner. I tried to pm him but no response. His last post was years ago. Not a big deal but its mine now. Lol

4742907753 my vin.

A VIN-admin such as myself can make corrections.
A VIN can be added without an owner by checking in that box.

You can still add it as yours. It doesn't matter if the PO is still listed, the database supports multiple entries for one VIN.

Any VIN admin can untie the VIN from your account after you entered it ...

Which box? I added one recently from the Barrett-Jackson auction and it appeared under my name. I have also located the VINs of the two cars I own under other member names, so I haven't bothered to "claim" them.

Does it matter?

The box only VIN admins can see ...

Again, the VIN database allows for multiple entries for the same VIN. Just add them as yours ...

That's what I did for my car. There are two entries, one from the immediate PO that sold me the car and one for me/mine as she is now.

I was going to say: well I can see it!
