SH Susan HallApr 18, 2024•US Spent too much time scouting around online to find info on a classic car we're considering that has a 13 digit VIN - which is not accepted on many sites. Frustrating. Then I found Class Decoder. Voila! We're just in the initial stages of research with this car and other sites had reported "no information" if I could even GET past the 13 digit VIN dilemma. Richard was available for chat within literally one minute and was super helpful with fast responses. I'm in client care and have a high standard for myself so it's ALWAYS great to do business with others who do the same. I'm happy! Highly recommend this company. Thank you, Richard! | |||

What is Not Included in a Classic Car Build Sheet?
While a classic car’s build sheet offers valuable information about a vehicle’s factory build and specifications, there are certain aspects it typically does not provide. This includes details about the vehicle’s ownership history, maintenance records, accident reports, or any modifications made after the initial production.
For such information, additional sources like classic vehicle history reports or personal documentation may be necessary. Use our classic vehicle history report tool to get in-depth details about any classic car you plan to purchase.
