VW VIN# format

[sailingfc at dslextreme.com (DY Wong)]

 On my 78, the VIN is 5382051052.  This matches the format you are seeing on
this 79. If you looking for CARFAX info, it will not be available, BTDT.
Sorry, I don't know if there is any logic sequence to the numbers.

Hi List,
    I'm in the process of buying a '79 (online); about to send a down
payment on it and asked the owner for the VIN# which he gave me as:
53920XXXXX [last 5 X's are numeric].
    Hmm... doesn't seem right. IIRC, a VW VIN# should be longer, and begin
with 3 or 4 letter characters.
    Can someone one please enlighten me as to what is the correct
alphanumeric format for a 1979 Scirocco VIN number?
 
thanks, Karl
