Re: VIN# vs chassis # - '83 GTV6

Heinrick:

As you probably know, your car is part of the ALFA 116 model as was it's 
predecessor the Alfetta GT for example my '75 was a 116 29. However the 
US Federal Government in it's wisdom decided to code all kinds of useful 
information for regulating the motor vehicle into a mandated Vehicle 
Identification Number. Hence, different #'s on the chassis and 
windshield plate. Makes me wonder is that an international standard now? 
Was it actually part of a move to a standard sn? Anyone know?
