My last six digits are "141791". Is that line number 41,791, or line number 1791, or 791, etc, etc. According to the vin decoder here there was only a little over 30K produced in 64.

Thanks for the efforts of the people responsible for this info. There is a lot of work involved.
I have one query. In my V.I.N. there is the number 4 between H and letter G eg: W80H4G. Any ideas.
Thanks again for the info.

Your number 4 is the 9th digit in the VIN, which is called the check digit. It is used to validate the VIN number. The possible values for the check digit range from 1-9 and also the letter X. There is a complicated formula utilizing all of the numbers and letters in the VIN that is used to determine the check digit. I won't bore you with the formula unless you really want to know it. But, the result of the formula is the check digit.
