Year of Manufacture?
|
Hi to all, and Happy New Year.
December was a quiet month for the C-group must have been the cold weather. Even in Florida very cold for our thin blood. It's been a nice week end I just finished recovering my bench seat. Even with four of these cars I don't have one good set of seats. Now I have something comfortable to sit on while I'm trying to unravel the wiring mess under the dash. The main reason for this message is to find out if anyone out there knows how to tell what year a Comutacar was manufactured. I don't have Titles for any of these cars. They all have VIN numbers, and was wondering is it encoded in the VIN #???? Will have some pictures to send soon. Thanks for any help. Don Morin |

I don't know how to decode the VIN either, but I have a 1981 (according to the title) Comuta-Car with VIN 1111B1C20BS000860. Perhaps if you can get a few more samples a pattern will emerge. Good Luck, Tim Hi to all, and Happy New Year. |

I checked some but it is impossible to tell the mfg. date since the
registrations only show the date first sold. The earlier Comuta-cars used a numbering system similar to the Citicar. My older Comuta-car is 911SR276A. My later Comuta-car is 1111B1C22AS00329. I believe the last four digits are the production sequence so that is the best way to tell the relative age. So yours is #860 and mine is #329. I checked another that is #593. The last four digits are also stamped on the frame rail behind the right rear tire (11 o'clock position). The date first sold on every Comuta-car I've seen is either 1979 or 1980.

chassi is stamped 0380 behind the right rear wheel and also marked in old faded magic marker on main chassi under the seats is 0380 Insurance says has to be a 81 cauuse ck sum isnot right for 82. basic not enough digits for later than 81 cars. --- In C-Car@..., "Scott Hull" <scott@m...> wrote: cars used a numbering system similar to the Citicar.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý?? My 1980 has a serial number of?
909SR2214A. It would be nice if someone hosted a serial number registry for
these cars. Lot's of old car groups/clubs have registries. Serial numbers are
complied?along with any info the owner has - such as titled year model,
etc. Then it is quite easy to follow serial number runs and the year model of
most within a specific run that were registered. Lot's of these cars were sold a
year or two [ or more ] after manufacture and got away with being titled as
current models.
? Someone should be doing this for our c-cars.
It is never too late to start and every serial number should be documented -
even on cars that were/are parted out.
