Recommended Posts

hi

I have 84 olds Calais 2 door coupe.  Could someone help me or direct me to best place to get vin decode?  Also I want to know if it can be verified by the vin # whether the car is a true hurst car?  If vin does not identify a factory hurst car, how does one verify it?

thankyou for your time and help, much appreciated.
