Corvair 500, 700, Monza, Corsa and Corvair 95 decoding
Chevrolet Corvair VIN Decoder and Registry
Corvair used both passenger-car VIN series and a distinct R12x forward-control system. PetrolJunky handles the rear-engine passenger cars and the Corvair 95 Greenbrier/Corvan/pickup family without forcing them into ordinary Chevrolet truck formats.

Passenger Corvair series identify trim family
The early format uses year, series and body with 500, 700, Monza and the 1964 Spyder series represented where the VIN supports them. The 1965–1969 second-generation layout moves into Chevrolet’s division-leading format and includes Monza and Corsa series codes where applicable.
Corvair 95 uses its own R124/R125/R126 identifier
R125 identifies Corvan and R126 Greenbrier. R124 covers the pickup family, but the shortened VIN cannot distinguish Loadside from Rampside by itself, so PetrolJunky returns the combined pickup identity rather than guessing between them.
Turbo equipment is not universally VIN-defined
Some Corvair performance identities require evidence beyond the VIN. PetrolJunky reports the series that the period identifier proves and leaves engine-package authenticity to trim tags, engine codes and documentation when the VIN is not definitive.
