1978 VIN Decoder
Hi All,
Can anyone direct me to a post that can tell by VIN number if a 1978 has a eurospec motor or not?
VIN # is 9288200909.
Thanks in advance.

You have #909, and I have #941. Even if it was a "euro" car, the engines in 1978 were all the same 4.5L w/ 8.5 compression. US model w/ cat is 220bhp, euro version w/o cat is 240bhp.

Erik, we missed you today! GREAT BBQ at Louie Mueller's in Taylor!
You are of course correct on the OP's question... non-S Euro/US does not matter... both 4.5L and roughly 220HP.

Who knows if ratings are correct?
Anyway, here's the official party line:
(One note -- the '80S is not covered in the chart below, its in the next "tech spec" book, not the early one from which these docs came)
