How about the safety standard re bumpers and other safety feature in USA standard? I think the Japanese one is smaller in size and engine also. A totaled 95 Ody with same color may help ...

Replying to: desperate2 (Feb 18, 2009 7:49 pm) If the vehicle was previously registered in Colorado, there should be a VIN somewhere in the vehicle. If the vehicle came without a VIN from Japan, Colorado would have issued its own number (a small placard) for the registration process provided it met all the DOT specs for US vehicles.   The best place for you to check is with your local State Patrol Office and ask for their Certified VIN inspector.   Also go to their site, http://csp.state.co.us/vin.cfm.html title for more info.   I think as long as you can prove some sort of ownership and it meets US specs, you should have no problems getting a new tittle, but you need VIN Verification first.   Good Luck,   Pat Replies to this message: bigdadi118 (Feb 19, 2009 9:44 am)

Replying to: co_cop (Feb 18, 2009 8:43 pm) VIN number decoding and designation is used primarily only for the North American Market.   European and other Asian markets use another nominclature systems. Over there they call chassis/frame number and/or engine number.   As last poster stated if this car was registered in RMV before then you can trace the VIN # with the old plate number. At that time a VIN # might be assigned to that car as the vehicle ID system is different in Jpan.
