Chassis number reference
Reference for reading a Volvo chassis or type number — not proof of identity. A number falling inside a listed range does not confirm which model a car is. Most of this comes from marque clubs and factory material, so each line carries the confidence of its source.
Model-specific number series with model-year letters (Volvo) or model-year blocks (Saab); not a positional VIN before 1981.
Volvo
Structuremedium confidencePre-1981 Volvo cars are numbered in a separate series per model; the production-ID letter is the model-year code. A chassis number is placed by model, then year block.
Type digitshigh confidenceThree-digit type: first digit series, second digit cylinders, third digit doors (142 = 2-door, 144 = 4-door, 145 = 5-door estate).
