    Yeah, Mark, it doesn't work for my 79's VIN either. The website/database designer used some library function available for the standardized VINs beginning in 1980, so ours won't be available through the web form. Just my guess.

    I tried ordering one for my 84 and it worked, but then tried to add my 83 to the second car spot and the model dropdown doesn't work. Well, I tried...

    Perhaps your car was involved in a CIA operation that cannot reveal the true identity of your car due to its prior top secret classification.

        Of course. Reverse psychology. Who'd ever believe the CIA would be driving a Volvo, much less an orange Volvo. The only thing they could do better would be signs on the doors saying, "Offical CIA Secret Car" and a flashing light on the roof.
