I don't think the vin search is working well. My 79 C3 came up as a 2005 Mitsubishi.  I plugged in another members vin and it came up as a 2002 Mitsubishi.  FYI only

Can you post a screenshot of that? The word "Mitsubishi" isn't even in our database. So I don't think you are using our tool. You may have clicked on an ad for a different vin decoder.

My 78 SA L82 came up correctly. But I wasn't able to get more info on the detailed page?

Adam,  it's the vin ad at the top of the home screen. I plugged in my vin number as it appears at the top of this reply.

Yeah, so that's an ad. If it says "SPONSOR AD" just above it, it isn't from C3VR.

You have to go to "Corvette VIN Decoder" under the "Research" menu on our site. Not click an ad. Here is s a direct link:

What do you mean "Detailed page"?

Are you sure you're using our VIN Decoder and not an ad?  Direct link to ours:
