The Story of Your Car: (Based on VIN)

Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is one of 315 that received VIN numbers. Based on the order of the serial numbers, your car was the 36th out of the 315 that were made that year.

There is 2 car matching your year and model with a serial number under 100. The cars with the last 6 digits ending less than 100 are most likely kept in a mueseum or used for the final crash/road testing, but CarFax information is generally not available for them. Since this car will probably never be sold or registered, your car is more accurately the 35th out of the 314 available. For more information on this, check out The Serial Number Problem

Your car was built in the 2nd week of June 1995. Of the 6096 vehicles made at the Nayoga plant, your car was the 1022nd vehicle to be created that year.
