Rod,
Here's a VIN for a '92 turbo wagon:
JF1BJ6738PH903121
The 'P' is in the fuel type space - any idea what that means?

Rod,
Thanks, this helps a lot. Now I commence the search, although I'm in
no hurry. There are other Northwesterns on the list, so I know they
exist up here...

Tom Emrich
VIN numbers?(Rod)
Rod,
The US VIN numbers are a little different, ours are only 17 numbers
long, yours is 18. Other than the fuel type (EFI, Turbo, etc.) they
seem to be very similar.
Guess I'll have to get one of the US folks to figure this out.
thanks again,
tom
PS - I'm in the NW US, Washington state to be exact, just a few miles
south of Vancouver, BC, Canada.

The US VIN numbers are a little different, ours are only 17 numbers

thanks again,

south of Vancouver, BC, Canada.
