Hagerty Valuation Tools^® VIN decoder

Most VIN decoders only have data for vehicles built after 1980 with a standardized 17-digit VIN. Hagerty’s patented VIN decoder also works for VINs and serial numbers on cars and trucks that were manufactured before that date. If you’re looking to learn more about a car that was built in the generation of 8-tracks, CB radios, or over-the-top tailfins, our VIN decoder can help.

We see you out there

You’re at car shows, at vehicle auctions, or online just checking out a cool old car … and you’re the one looking on the dashboard for the 17-digit number, or peeking in the engine bay for that car’s VIN plate. You want to learn every available detail about that car’s production history.

The horsepower behind our VIN decoder

Once you have a VIN decoded, our Valuation Tools give you:

Over a decade of values
Current and historical Hagerty Price Guide numbers can help determine if you’re buying at the bottom of the market or if it’s best to hold off.
Sale prices of similar cars
Whatever car you’re researching also comes with the highest and lowest sale prices, as well as details on hundreds of auction results in between.
Factory details
When included in the VIN, we quickly match you to the correct engine, trim, or body style the car left the factory with, when possible. This can help you spot clones, tributes, and other mods.
Tech specs and options
Review optional and standard equipment and dig into various technical specifications for a better understanding of the vehicle.
