Serial Number Or Vin Questions

Re: VIN Numbers

We are close to finding the birth month of my jeep. Jim's s/n puts mine in early 1970 maybe. My title says AMC. I don't know what month Kaiser sold jeep to AMC. We are definately close. Thanks hippo393 for driving this.

 

Re: VIN Numbers

Maybe it should be 373245. That would bring things a little more in line.

Re: VIN Numbers

My 71's s/n is 373590.

Ha ha I've learned not to rely on title informaiton. On my tux, it has the model description "C5A", and make as "JPEG". So I'm the proud owner of a picture file format. R)
On the '71 it has the model as "UJ5". Huh??!??
Anyway, AMC bought Kaiser-Jeep in Feb. '70. :stout:

EDIT: Ok I found the VIN info I was looking for. It was jjfalconer's link:

No info beyond '67 though.

 

Re: VIN Numbers

My '69 is 8305 C17 352694

 

Re: VIN Numbers

John that '69 I had last year was right behind yours on the assembly line: 8305 C17 352833. But I don't know the date of manuf. Do you?

 

Re: VIN Numbers

Hello every one.. Wow iam glad I found this site... My 69 Cj5 VIN is 8305015 258274. I would love to know when it was built

 

Re: VIN Numbers

I had a similar question a while back about my '70. Check out that thread as some other members posted their VINs and month of manufacture:

Re: VIN Numbers

my '69 CJ5 VIN 8305017 355972

I looked in a book at Borders (Jeep History?) which says its a left hand drive CJ5 with V6 w/emission.

According to that book some 20,000-odd CJ5s were made in 1969 and a substancially lesser number of CJ6s (4,000???? Don't quote me).

1969 was the second-highest CJ5 run year for pre-71's. Another year in the 60's sold a few thousand more.

 

Re: VIN Numbers

both of yours are canadian built in windsor.

83 = cj5 4x4
05 = open body
c = canada
1 = left hand drive
7 = v6 with smog control


mine is 8305c17 350759

also a '69 when it gets here i'll look to see if i can find any closer date markings any where on the chassis etc.

 

Re: VIN Numbers

Hey Hippo I think you have me Greg confused with Mud but thats ok because we both have the same problem but mines a 62. Mine was a rebuild before I bought it and the Serial number was changed...why do they do that? My Serial Number is MVIN 34718 IND. It does not even have the 57548 in front. I do have the engine number though its 4J283231. I was looking for a cross reference with the engine number. so I can get an idea of the serial number. I am putting on a new tub and want to get a serial number as close to the original if the BMV will let me change it.

 

Re: VIN Numbers

Hippo I remember you said something about the serial number being on the pasenger side of the frame. could you get me a pic of the exact location?

 

Re: VIN Numbers

If the above is true what is mine:83050 37 371867
That's off of my 71 CJ5 V-6 left hand drive.

Re: VIN Numbers

Sure no prob. I'll snap a pic tomorrow. Dang I thought Vernco had a pic of it already, but I just checked there and no pic. Oh, you're right, I did get you and mud confused. I wonder if your odd VIN means that it's a remanufactured VIN from Indiana. ?? Just a guess. I wonder what Indiana's procedures are/were for re-doing VINs. In Ohio, re-VINned rigs get a current year on the title. A guy I know has a CJ-7, but because of lost title and stuff the VIN was remade to a 2002 model. Do you have the title? If so, a title history report can be made.

CJ Mac the "3" in that 6th position is very strange. Should be a "1" if it's left hand drive. Where did you retrieve that number from--the title, the VIN tag on the firewall, or the sticker on the dash??

 

Re: VIN Numbers

Greg, just found this on Ohio's title forms webstite on the FAQs:

So all we need to do is to determine the VIN (probably 57548 ) and then find the serial number on the frame if it's there.

 

Re: VIN Numbers

Greg I just found out that your Jeep (or title) was transferred out of the country at some point, and a "new" title was made about 4 months before you owned it. Do you have the p.o.'s name on the title?

Just go to http://www.dmv.org/oh-ohio/dmv-vehicle-registration.php, then click "Online Title Inquiry", then click "Search by ID #" and input your VIN (no spaces) to see more details. HTH!! :stout:

P.S. A visit to the Brookville title bureau with copy of above info in-hand may help track down who/when/why/where/what happened to the orig title. Or a letter to the HQ in Columbus.

 

Re: VIN Numbers

83 = cj5 4x4
05 = open body
O = disregard (i assume toledo, usa made as opposed to canada windsor, ontario plant right near toledo)
3 = i have no idea, recheck # should be 1 or 2 according to the site i list below
7 = v6 with smog control
371867 = sequential serial #


i got these from specialty parts site

Re: VIN Numbers

Here's the location of the stamp on my '64 tux:



I had cleaned it off and used a white-out pen all round the numbers, then lightly sanded off the excess so the numbers would be visible. Location is on the passenger side engine compartment, on top of the frame rail above the rear spring mount. I had to take a wire brush and some brake cleaner to the area in order to find it. Good luck!
