Can't look up my VIN on the Russian MB site?

I tried putting in the VIN # for my 77' 300D, but I guess there aren't enough digits. Is there anything I can do?

VIN: 12313012029367

Just gives me an error message. I'm pretty sure cars used a different numbering system before 1980...maybe that's why it won't work?

It does not have data on cars older than 1980.

It worked on my mom's '79 450SL after I put WDB in front of it.

Anyone know of a similar VIN search site that works for pre 80 cars that includes Euro made/bought versions...

Looking for data on my 1976 W114 280E

It recognizes the '83 SL, but not the '82 300D.
