Default 1980 honda VIN help...

Looking at buying a 1980 Honda, asked the guy for the VIN and he gave me this... WDA1020623

I can't seem to find anything on it, guy seems straight forward with everything.
It's a 1980 honda wagon.

Is that a correct VIN or?

As far as I know all VINs are 17 digits. He's reading the wrong one. Tell him to look at the drivers side dash corner from outside of the car.

That would be a 4 door station wagon with the 1.5L engine and a 5 speed transmission. That's a correct VIN for that car. Honda had 10 digit VIN numbers until 1984, I think.

IIRC the 17 digit VIN wasn't used on any car until 84ish. Ten digit VINs were the norm for all cars before that.
