VINS & Canada

Post by Monty 98 » Thu Nov 07, 2019 8:43 am

I've been looking online at a car out of state. The vehicle has a PA title with a number C10,xxx,xxx (x's added for your protection!). I know from looking at other postings that Canadian cars have the C prefix, but I didn't think they went into the millions. The car is in storage with an estate situation, so we haven't got a look at the stamping # yet.

Is it possible this is a sequence number that PA DMV uses when dealing with the issue of 'T' Vin's?

C prefix is Canada. Numbers only went up to C780k in my book. The numbers 7 and 1 are sometimes misidentified on a dirty rusty block with poor lighting.
C10k would be 1913
C100k would be 1917
C700k would be 1926
