Help - Decoding a 1963 Mercedes VIN

[Raizinman]

I'm looking at a 1963 Mercedes 4 door with a 6 cylinder engine. Does someone have a VIN decoder for this vehicle. Here is the VIN# 11101210102778

That vin comes back as a 1963 Trabant.

They were known to copy mercedes and maybe someone put some mercedes badges on it?

Does it smell like a sweaty east german roided woman?
Oh and carfox says it failed its inspection last year, tires were to square.

How did you get CARFAX to accept a 14 digit VIN number? When I tried it, it returned with a message that it needs a 17 digit VIN??

I was kidding.

Check out some mercedes forums as I have seen a lot that can decode older VINs and tell you about the car. There will not be a history though just its a XYZ car made on such and such...
Unless you find a mercedes gear nut here, don;t know of any, I don;t think anyone here can help.

Maybe soem help there.

If not e-mail Mercedes Corp the VIN and ask them. They usually will send what they have.
