*HELP* Brasilia with 8 digit VIN?!

[Garm]

Trying to get this registered, never seen an 8 digit VIN. I have to prove it's a '75

MA009710

Any ideas?

That is what is stamped on the pan under the seat and on the plaque on the firewall. I'll post a pic

just gotta find the right person... I have a 1980 Datsun 280zx.. the first 5 digits of it's VIN are "HS130"..

I dunno about the H, but S130 are the manufacturer model numbers (like Type 1..) After that there are only 5 other digits (10 total).. younger people and non car people insist I'm wrong when I give them the numbers, those that know, understand that not all vehicles have a 17 digit VIN..

Yes, I've run across 11 and 17 digit VINs, but not an 8 digit VIN.

My problem is more that I cannot prove the year of the vehicle, as no VIN checker accepts an 8 digit number.

I've emailed VW of Mexico without luck. I have to be able to prove, even with a valid email, that the car is a 1975 model.
