Carsensor's 60-series grade data starts at October 1982 and ends December 1989; Japanese Wikipedia gives production end October 1989, sales end December 1989. Dates are Carsensor catalogue production-model periods (生産モデル), Japan market. Stored end is the production end (Japanese Wikipedia: 1989年10月 生産終了); December 1989 is the sales end. Start: sale date; production date not published.

The 25-year line is the NHTSA age exemption for a vehicle not built to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (49 CFR 591.5(i)), counted from the date of manufacture. The 21-year line is the EPA exemption on Form 3520-1, counted by calendar year and limited to a car in its original configuration.

Eligibility is decided by the specific car’s build date on its plate, not by the chassis code and not by the model year. Two cars of the same code can sit on different sides of the line.

Every row in the register carries its dates and a source: all Toyota chassis codes or the full list by make.

• Toyota chassis codes: every Toyota code in the register, grouped by model.
• The full chassis code list: every make, with a source for each date.
• Japanese VIN and chassis number decoder: read a chassis number off a plate and find the code.
• Landed cost: duty, fees, freight and registration, line by line, with sources.
