Just FYI Euro cars never had the build sticker in the jamb, only US.

Sure enough, a short piece of masking tape was stuck to the underside of the glove box, four red letters or numbers written on it, but I couldn't read them.

Ok Mr drooman,

My '79 Row (Ireland) arrived home today:

Vin-9289100951

Prod number? 1590? it's the same writing as a few others already posted, so sorry, but here is a pic for you to decipher (it really is kinda cool though).




'79 Siver Euro prod number.

As with my other, I will apply for a COA at some stage.

Has anyone done this with '78 numbers?

Very cool thread! I love that this info is being collected and compared. It makes the cars more interesting, and (IMHO) more valuable to know their history.
