At the the fall tour, I decided to pull off my headliners and take a peek at whatever might be hiding back there. I was expecting to find my VIN number and a key code. I found a couple of weird things I didn't expect.
My VIN is 17094, manufactured Aug 82.
On the left door, I saw "V12159" along with a key code, as well as the initials "RJC" a date of "9.30" and the number "17". This didn't confuse me too much -- it sounds like it must have been replaced at some point... but I would be interested in hearing if anyone out there knows what happened to 12159.
