I think that the problem with that "VIN registry", other than the minor mistakes and not being updated regularly, is that it's extrememly difficult to compile and manage a large number of VINs, much less 15K +/- of them. Also, the theory about the VIN numbers being consecutive isn't always true, and I see lots of "your car is outside the range" comments which may be wrong. As an example, in the '89 paperwork I looked at last night, E433142, an '89 assigned to Central Division, has VIN 201827. That is definitely outside the "range". FHP orders for '93 were like that, with several different batches, and who knows how many other orders were also.

Yeah, a formal VIN registry is a ton of work. I'm more interested in just ensuring that the data remains available to those in the hobby for verification and documentation purposes instead of being withheld as some SSP info currently is. That's the reason I originally copied off the non-source document info, to carry with me when I go to verify cars I find...wish it was a little more correct tho.
