Ok what system that a consumer has access to isn’t set up for standardized 17 digit VIN?

You can try and manipulate the system and use 0000 in front of the VIN to make it to 17, but that barely ever works.

Edit: if the car is a collectible like a Corvette, they have sites specifically for those vehicles. But not for regular vehicles

hagerty.com, literally the first return when you Google "VIN lookup pre 1981".

Their website says -

Most VIN decoders only have data for vehicles built after 1980 with a standardized 17-digit VIN. Hagerty’s patented VIN decoder also works for VINs and serial numbers on cars and trucks that were manufactured before that date. If you’re looking to learn more about a car that was built in the generation of 8-tracks, CB radios, or over-the-top tailfins, our VIN decoder can help.
