CJ-5 Vin Numbers

This is a URL to the spreadsheet that I have made listing Vin numbers for early CJ-5s. I would like to extend this list if people can send me more info.

Thanks

 

the only thing i noticed was feb of '66 was the same as aug of '65. only reason was because my vin was 209671 and i thought it was weird the # decreased from jan to feb :?

 

hey is that thing right? if it is then my jeep was built right around my birthday! how cool is that. maybe it was "born" on the same day as i was, 22 years before me!

 

That would be a mistake on my side. Does anyone have the beigning VIN for Feb 1966?

**********UPDATE I HAVE FOUND THE BEIGNING VIN NUMBER FOR FEB 1966*********

I up dated the web page with this info.

Thanks

 

To the best of my knowage this is right. I have spent many hours researching this online. I have found pages with orginal jeep docs images that I used to get this Data. I made this sheet a few years ago and I decided to dig it back out and share it with everyone to get feed back.

 

Thanks for sharing your research Justin. Helps me to narrow down the build date for my '66.
#8305C16 214970
The "C", As I understand it, indicates Canadian manufacture though I have no clue what the "16" means.
Cheers

 

Hi, my 68CJ5 has a S in the middle, it was made in Toledo and sold in Montana, when i ordered new Decals from Jerry, he said it is the earliest vin # for 68 he has ever seen, he thinks it was made in late 67, and sold in Jan of 68, Ser # is 8305 S 237645. George.

 

Looks good

 

My 68 has "S" also. Hey Justin, any motivations to carry it out another few months? I am curious what month (in late 1967) my 8305 S 238757 was built.

 

Thanks Jason, i have been a full year getting it done, it set in a Barn in Montana for 15yrs, i went threw all the brakes and fuel system, and numerous seals, but i lucked out, the engine runs great, had 48,000 when it was parked, George.

 

Any information on VINs for '69-'71?

 

I will try to extend this out for more years. I need to find as much info as I can for jep vin numbers.

Any one have sources for Vin Number Info?

 

This is some infomation I found on Jeep Vin numbers that may help.

1 = left hand drive
6 = v6-225 without emission

 

So, what is the "s" for?

 

S = smog (Universal)

Note: Discontinue designator A and S with the inception of the (7) digit serial number prefix

 

Thanks...I should have known that..This just makes me realize once more what a Frankenstein my CJ really is....Cheers

 

Thanks, Jim.

 

I wish there was some info on post '67 vehicles.

I've seen a couple sites that list the VIN decoding for our CJ5's but for some reason they always stop at '67.

 

From your chart:
<57548 or 8305 is the Model Number and stands for CJ-5>

Any idea what a CJ-6 would be?

Thanx!
