Re: Where's My VIN? (New VIN Project, Please Help Out)

Ran across this one the other day on the side of the road for sale in Boise. Bad 4-Cylinder motor in need of a crank, rusty body for 1500 Bucks. I offered the guy 300 cash but he turned it down, I guess he thinks "Sentimental Value" translates to real world. Anyway heres the #'s

SN # 8305-188245
Paint # 999
Trim # 201
Special sales order # GS-4420

GS is for Government service... Right?

 

Re: Where's My VIN? (New VIN Project, Please Help Out)

Well, I guess mine would actually be 1965 model year built in Aug-Sept of 1964. It has a smooth cowl with no battery access and the tray seems to be internal to the frame rail up front by headlight on pass side. I figure the external mount for the drivers side rear view mirror must have been something a guy before me put on from an earlier year class as haven't seen that mount on any other pics. Still seems to be some debate about Willys or Kaiser but from what I read the Kaiser Jeep name was given to them all after 1963 to get the brand under one name until the AMC purchase in 1970.....

I do appreciate all the help guys..thanks

Re: Where's My VIN? (New VIN Project, Please Help Out)

alrighty--i can say that i have looked over the whole site and done my homework about my tux park. i have a lot of the info y'all we're looking for ---but because it is a tux park without a vin plate on the firewall----i'm still a bit baffled. all of the tables on your link help a great deal. coupling those with a few other books production figures a i think i have closed in on mine being a 66 or 67----i think but i would like a few more opinions. here is the info.

frame # 10470
1. VIN # ?
2. Month/Year of manufacture from dash tag ?
3. Model year registered as? 71 when it used to be registered
4. Factory Front Shackle Reversal? NO
5. Model 25 or Model 27 front axle? 27
6. Snorkel Cutout on hood (Yes / No)? YES
7. Windshield Frame Configuration BOTTOM MOUNTED
8. Large or small front turn signals? SMALL
9. Tapered or flanged rear axle? FLANGED (I THINK-- I MAY BE MISTAKEN)
10. Underseat or rear mounted fuel tank? UNDERSEAT
11. Hood mounted reflectors, front fender mounted markers, no markers / hood reflectors?NO MARKERS ON FRONT FENDERS
12. Windshield washers? NO
13. Single / Dual stick transfer case? DUAL
14. Paint and Trim codes?NONE
15. Battery box cover on cowl?-YES NOW BUT THE BATTERY BOX ON THE FRAME HAS BAEEN HACKED OFF WITH A TORCH
16. Bow sockets on rear body corners? YES

ITS BEEN APART FOR A WHILE-- I DON'T REMEMBER A SAFETY LATCH

I HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL TO Y'ALL TOO

Re: Where's My VIN? (New VIN Project, Please Help Out)

according to the list I have of Tux numbers, yours is about 20 below another member's (Kaiser63) who's is listed as a 63.

which should mean your vin would be something like 8322 10470

Oh and thanks for postin

 

Re: Where's My VIN? (New VIN Project, Please Help Out)

woah, this thing just gets older everyday.

it also has a chrome strip on the lower exterior rocker panel that i haven't seen on any other pictures of tuxedo parks--it does appear to be original. the only decent pic i have is ain jy avatar but as you can see it is a hard copy. i'll look up kaiser63 and see if i can find any pics of his.

thanks

Re: Where's My VIN? (New VIN Project, Please Help Out)

well the emblems definitely say mark IV so i think i'm back to believing that it may have been a frame swap. the strange thing to me is that the frames for these old jeeps are interchangeable but the frame numbers seem to be duplicated- depending on model--like cj-5 and cj-5a have some numbers that seem to be exactly the same. example--a 1955 cj5 frame may have the same number as a cj5a from 1965. that seems odd to me. i don't know why this concerns me---i don't plan on ever selling it anyway. i plan on registering as a handbuild or salvage i think. in that it may actually be a rare bird and be worth a great deal---it might be worthwhile to restore it--the right way. thoughts?

 

Re: Where's My VIN? (New VIN Project, Please Help Out)

so what do the paint/trim codes mean...999/334?????

 

Re: Where's My VIN? (New VIN Project, Please Help Out)

Paint code 999 is a special paint and they say serial number needs to be provided to look up the color at the factory. Renegades had paint code 999 and also I think some of the models for government use had paint code 999. I don't see a trim code 334, but I do see a trim code 343 which is 2/3-1/3 (split bench) charcoal vinyl.

 

Re: Where's My VIN? (New VIN Project, Please Help Out)

see my post a coupe replies up, there is all my info.... this was a govt service vehilce and i am trying ot find out just what it did? just looked again, it says 999 334

 

Re: VIN Numbers

HTH

 

Re: Where's My VIN? (New VIN Project, Please Help Out)

The only 334 trim I see is for a charcoal bench seat on the commando. That's from the 1970 trim codes. I don't have the 1971 trim codes, maybe there's something in the '71 codes. I'm not sure if the '71 codes are different from the '70 codes or not.

 

Re: Where's My VIN? (New VIN Project, Please Help Out)

huh? not sure but my plate on the fire wall, def has 999 and 334...i will have to look into it further i guess

 

Re: Where's My VIN? (New VIN Project, Please Help Out)

new here ,i've got a cj5 i bought at a swapmeetw/no title
# stamped on frame is 27744,small tag on left firewall says 225--340
the guy i got it from didnt know what year it was ,neither do i ,can you help thanks mark
has rounded fenders but has wipers on top of windsheild????

 

Re: Where's My VIN? (New VIN Project, Please Help Out)

I think with a sequential serial number of 27744 that it's a '67 model built in Feb. 1967. 225 is paint code of Spruce Tip Green Metallic. 340 is trim code charcoal vinyl buckets (at least in 1970).

Welcome!

 

Re: Where's My VIN? (New VIN Project, Please Help Out)

IINM, a serial of 27744 should be in th 1950's, 56 by my list, are you sure you are not missing a diget? $.02
