The VIN jam sticker was removed 20 years ago with a respray. Plan to order a reproduction sticker. The sticker company shows black and white or silver and black both with the tamper proof circles. I cannot remember what mine looked like. Original paint Black Metallic A2.
Manufacture date 10/79. Want to order the right one so any help greatly appreciated.

Here's a copy of mine built in 9/79. Good luck!

rushfan82, thanks for the image. I wonder if exterior color dictated sticker color.

First, yes, exterior color did dictate sticker color. Basically dark exterior colors, like black, used Silver stickers and the lighter/brighter exterior colors used Black. It all seems to be based on contrast.

Second, it sounds like you are trying to replace the door jamb VIN sticker on a North American 1979 MY 930 with a VIN starting with 930980XXX? If that is correct, you'll need to confirm whether your 930 was delivered in the States or Canada (there are differences in the stickers). Once you identify delivery, I'll be able to tell which sticker P/N you'll need.

If you have any questions, you can PM me and I will be glad to try to help you.

I had a metallic black and a mocha brown 79 with a silver sticker with black borders. I also owned a chiffon 79 that had a VIN sticker like the one posted above.

Thanks to all the feedback. Everyone concurs, silver it is....

FWIW- do some research on how to get data corrected punched into sticker, these look terrible when poorly done, much worse than no sticker at all.
