My 82 300D Turbo has the VIN WDBAB33A2CB000125. I'm sure it's correct and it was on the title belonging to the original owner when I bought the car. The funny thing is that everywhere I have an opportunity to use the VIN it comes back unrecognized. I subscribed to the online EPC from www.startekinfo.com and it doesn't recognize the VIN. I tried to Russian site and they claim it's invalid also.
I did send an email via the classic center on the Mercedes Benz web site and got a short reply back stating that the chassis number is 123133.12.00012. Does that mean I have the 12th 300D turbo diesel made? Anyone have an idea where I can get look this up or should I pay the $25.00 to the classic center for one of those reproduction window stickers?
