    Re: VIN Numbers

    Hello, New member here. I agree that the listed info for 1971 starting number is incorrect. My 1971 CJ V-6 serial number is 367901, manufacters date on dash is sept. 1970. Has AMC on title also. I believe AMC took over production around feb or mar of 1970.

    8305017 353138 : Smog pump, wide grill/radiator

    8305017 248046 : No smog pump, narrow grill/radiator.

    You might check the serial on the second 69 jeep.

    8305 017 248046.

    I think that maybe it should be 8305 015 248046

    Jeep was using a serial number that began with a "3" for the V-6 jeeps and a serial number that began with a "2" for 4 cylinder jeeps.

    They did this in 70 and 71, and I think that they did it in 69 as well.

    It would be interesting to verify whether the center three digits were 017 or 015. Was this jeep a four cylinder to begin with?

    Re: VIN Numbers

    One little thing with vin #'s in 1969. Some Jeep body's from Toledo were shipped to Canada towards the end of Canada's Jeep production. The sequence numbers(last 6 #'s ) remained the same. So some Toledo Jeeps with higher sequence #'s were actually assembled before their Canadian counterparts with lower sequence #'s. If you have a 1969 Toledo Jeep you can guess easier on its month of production. It is really hard to tell with the Canadian Jeeps unless you have origional documentation.

    My 1969's # 8305C17352662

    Re: VIN Numbers

    Hi Kamel,

    I triple checked the number... 8305 017 248046 is what is on the plate... Most likely the PO removed the smog pump (it does not have an oil bath or even somewhat factory air cleaner).

    It's also possible that someone put a V6 Dauntless into this Jeep, but I thought I saw others posting numbers starting with a 2 that were V6's.

    Re: VIN Numbers

    1969 was the last production year for the canadian cj's. Your's might be titled as a 1970, but is really a 1969. dana 44 front was probably a swap.
    the following link has some info

    http://www.film.queensu.ca/CJ3B/Canada/CanadaKaiser.html

    maybe you have one of those last 12?

    Gotta 69 8305017 354798. Don't know the month of production, but I think early since it does not have side marker lights.

    This may help a little Kaiser completed sale to AMC in Feb 1970.

    Re: VIN Numbers

    My title has it as a 66. I noticed the plates may not be original due to the tears where each screw went. Would the frame , engine and tranny numbers be a better indication?
