<VV> Decoding vehicle VIN numbers ~ No, don't give up!! gg

[Charlie]

Actually I was asking what the "1" is, for whomever started this thread.
I figured the leading digit "1" on the engine # is NOT the model number, but
something else ?


Here's what I got :
-------------------
>From the web site for 105678W101706 (of which only "8W101706" was on the
block), I got:
1 Line : Chevrolet   
05 Series : Corvair Monza   
67 Body : Convertible 2-Door   
8 Year : 1968   
W Assembly : Willow Run, MI  
Serial # 101706  

The "1" on the engine VIN would appear to be the 2nd (or 3rd) digit of the 2
(or 3) digit model number, preceding the model year, but what would that be
on the engine block/case ?
