Serial Numbers
New guy question:
In the FAQ sticky on the 2nd Generation RX-7 is a post entitled: "What does the VIN number mean/break down??" It says for 1988 models built from July 1987 through Dec. 1988 the serial numbers at the end of the VIN are 600001-700000. 1986 models are supposed to end in numbers 100000 to 200000. I have three 1988 Rx7 convertibles. The build months and last part of the VINs for these vehicles are: December, 1987 / J0102235 June, 1988 / J0106342 November, 1988 / J0108974 All the other letters and numbers seem to match. Am I missing something? |
I am wondering if you are taking it into account that your car is a VERT and not a Coupe.
I'd be under the assumption that Coupe VINS and Vert VINS are different so they'd have different production number quotas. Just a guess,but hey,..I've been wrong before!(frankly if the vin is on the car and on the ownership,after that.,I don't care.) |

I wondered about the Vert/Coupe difference. I assumed the body style code (FC33 for coupes and FC35 for convertible) in the Vehicle Identification Section of the VIN would account for that distinction. But I do see in the '86-'88 parts catalog the VIN chassis # for the FC35s start with 100001. Thanks for pointing that out, Robby. I've read somewhere that the FC Vert was the only convertible built on a production line at that time. Seems logical that if convertibles had their own production line they therefore had their own production number.
