That is not the VIN, it is the numbers off of the cowl tag, the VIN is seen thru the windshield on the drivers side. Those numbers do tell somethings though, perhaps the gurus will jump in and decode for you.

Perhaps the middle "1" is really an L.

I'll have to double check all those again.


Anyone have a moment to check those out?
