    Can someone run a VIP on this VIN for me?

    1C3XJ45A3KG too for won for ate seven.

    It's a Lebaron convertible sitting in the junkyard near me. It looked like it had every damn option imaginable and is nearly complete. It had a factory intercooler in it, but I don't know if it was there from the factory. 5-speed car, red exterior, gray interior, enthusiast seats, automatic climate control, 2-button navigator, the works!

    8th digit (A) would be an intercooled 2.2 from 1987 to 1989 and as your 10th digit (K) is 1989 I would say a factory intercooled car.
    1989 2.5 T-1 would have a J as the engine code.

    Thanks

    There is no logical reason to call an Engine a motor.

    Wow so that means it's probably a 555 in it too. That must have been a big-dollar car back then with all those options.

    If I only had less wives and more garage stalls...

    If it's an 89, make sure you get that turbo. Very desirable piece!

    Try to save the whole car! As Randy pointed out, the VIN indicates that it's a factory TII convertible car. You are right, it should be an A555.

    Speaking of VIN checks, is there anywhere to get a build sheet or something?

    Re: Can someone run a VIP on this VIN for me?

    Your local dealer can run what's called a VIP Report on most of our vintage and newer vehicles. It's not quite a buildsheet, though it gives each option the car was built with along with other information. No prior owner info, names etc is given, but it does have the original selling dealership's name, city & state IIRC. The dealer down the road required me to provide proof of ownership, a current registration and ID before running the report.

    Forged 2.2 crank, rods, and the big brakes too. I could actually really use that oil pan and pickup.

    here you go, unfortunately chrysler's system doesn't always interpret the old reports right. Some options might not seem right because they have changed the meaning of the option codes.
