Um... The second character will always be an "A" for an Imperial. Lesser cars have lower characters (meaning further down the alphabet, of course, and not implying a difference in moral fiber at all).

If it is an 81 the 2nd digit will be a C and the 10th digit will be a B. If it is an 82, the 2nd digit will A and the 10th will be C if it is an 83 the 2nd digit will be A and the 10th will be D. The VIN should be visible on the Dash pad looking down through the windshield standing next to the driver's door. ----------------- http://www.imperialclub.com ----------------- This message was sent to you by the Imperial Mailing List.
