OK, you got me.

But, we would know all we needed to know if we found a Corvair with the 
"last half" of the VIN, although the rest of the VIN would tell us a little 
more, like was it a 500, Monza or a Corsa, depending on the condition of the 
"remains" that we found.

There is a myriad of info encoded into VINs, and driver license IDs, too, 
for that matter, that may seem to the untrained eye to be random.

I never knew about this "secret VIN" hidden away.  Are there others ?

If I ever find my 1969 Monza convert (stolen in 1969) "reincarnated," I'd 
like to be able to know it was mine, even if they changed the standard VIN 
plate.
