Title: GTV 2.0 V.I.N Number break down/help
Post by: AlfaHolic on October 01, 2008, 06:29:35 PM
Hi i am tryin too work out what is going on with these vin numbers i just bought a car from SA and the guy has told me vin number is

AR11367003018028 The car is an 1984 GTV 2.0

AR11637*0003779* Which is the vin number of my

All right hand drive GTVs are 116 37........

Looks like the guy just got a couple of numbers wrong.  maybe he's dyslexic.

Oh, by the way, send an email with the chassis number to archiviostorico@alfaromeo.com.  Alfas response will include the build date and original color combo, and possibly where it was first sold.

Send the one he gave you, and one with the numbers in the 'correct' order, and see what you get.

I tried it out for my two cars and got some interesting information.I sent him the chassis numbers fo my GT and GTV.The GT is AR 116.11.0002544 which is an Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT RHD,manufactured on the 19th November 1975 and sold on the 20th November 1975 to Alfa Romeo Sydney,Australia.The original body colour is Alfa Red,with black tex interiors.My GTV is 116.37.0005358 but they had no record,Bugger,build plate says 4/79.
This is very interesting because I always wondred about how to tell the difference between 1.8 Alfetta Body shells and 2L GTV body shells as the front panels under the grill differ,I think I know now!.

Wonder why they wouldn't have records?  If it's the original engine no. you could try that maybe?

They also couldn't find any records on my car, a 77 gtv. I will double check my number in case I read it off wrong though.

Looks like the records stop about 1975 or so,I was talking to someone who has got earlier information and he said they didnt keep the later stuff,maybee they arent museum age yet.Lets hope the later stuff gets added sometime!
