Default How do I check my VIN number?

I wrote it down, and I looked at a few sites, but had no luck, also some sites say it is 17 characters, I think mine is somewhere near like 13. Can someone help me find a site that will tell me stuff about my cars VIN number? Carfax said the vehicle has to be an 81-present as well.

cars your age have 13 digit vins, you can't use car-fax/ your not gonna likey be able to find any kind of accident info on the car - but there are sites that will decode your vin and give you a breakdown of the options that were installed (like engine, tranny, rear end, etc. code)

Or even better, just fill in the blanks and it will decode it for you.

Wow, thanks for your help, my car was made in NJ, now it is in Ca of course, and it was originally Ivy Green! Now it is red, crazy.
