This was the mid 1990's. I talked to the CA DMV on the phone before
buying the car and in person when I went to transfer the car. They
insisted that the Oh was not valid in a VIN and it had to be a
zero. Realized reality didn't matter with the DMV and it wasn't
worth trying to be right with the facts. Since my car has be a CA
car since new, I'd guess when initially titled in 1972, they marked
it as a zero.<br>

<div style="background-color:#FFFFFF">My California TR6 title also
ends L0 - L zero. I told them it should be an Oh for Overdrive,
but they said I couldn't have an Oh and I was wrong. Not worth
having an argument with the DMV. The insurance company was fine
with whatever the title said.<br>
