1991 Labaron Convertible

Just brought a 1991 Labaron Convertible.

I love this car

Can anyone direct me to a web site that can help me understand the specs on
the car through the VIN number

Much appreciated

 

With the right options, a few tweaks and upgrades, and proper maintenance,
they are reliable and fun cars.

There's not a whole lot you can glean from the VIN as regards the
vehicle's specifications. The VIN is 17 digits long.

1st digit: Country of manufacture-
1 = USA
2 = Canada
3 = Mexico

2nd digit: Vehicle brand-
C = Chrysler

3rd digit: Type of vehicle-
3 = Passenger car

4th digit: Type of occupant restraint system-
A = Driver and passenger air bags
B = Driver and passenger manual belts
C = Driver and passenger automatic belts
X = Driver air bag, passenger manual belt
Y = Driver air bag, passenger automatic belt

5th digit: Vehicle line-
J = Chrysler LeBaron 2-door

6th digit: Vehicle trim/spec series-
1 = Economy
2 = Low line
4 = High line
5 = Premium line
6 = Sport/special
7 = Performance/Image

7th digit: Body style-
5 = Convertible

8th digit: Engine-
A = 2.2L 16V DOHC 4-cylinder Turbo III
J = 2.5L 8V SOHC 4-cylinder Turbo I
K = 2.5L 8V SOHC 4-cylinder TBI
3 = 3.0L 12V Mitsubishi V6 MPFI

9th digit: VIN check digit, mathematically calculated from other digits

10th digit: Model year-
M = 1991

11th digit: Assembly plant-
A = Outer Drive
C = Jefferson
D = Belvidere
F = Newark
G = St. Louis I
H = Bramalea (Canada)
N = Sterling Heights
T = Toluca (Mexico)

12th - 17th digit: Vehicle serial number

You can get a great deal more information from the vehicle body code
plate(s) located on top of the radiator support panel at the front of the
engine compartment under the hood.

I learned on this ng more than a year ago that you can take your VIN to
the dealer and from that they can give you a printout (typically 2 or 3
pages) that fully specifies your car, accessories, options, etc. (in the
form of sales codes). Comes in handy if a question comes up when
ordering parts where vehicle variations or other unknowns are concerned.

After I lost the first printout that I got, I got a second one and
scanned it into my computer so I don't loose it. Comes in *very* handy.

Was it once owned by Jon Voight?

 

Wasn't Jon's an 80's model with the woodie sides?
