Manufacturer, model year, country: enter the VIN of the model Chevrolet Van and the free decoder reads all three from the 17 characters. The car Chevrolet Van is listed for 1980 - 1983. Our data shows the body styles Van, a power value of 200 hp and 1 versions in total. The decoder reads the world manufacturer identifier in characters 1 to 3, the model year in character 10 and the plant in character 11 where one is coded.
