need all hands on deck for figuring out this VIN number

[Pete M]

it's in the registry:

Not a full Vin, either a state given vin or someone just screwing around. Any other vins available?

[eaglescout526]

Does this VIN show up on the firewall plate or anywhere?

1JTHL6518HT003073

I think it is this VIN.

Hopefully the owner will respond with a pic, but he said it's the same in the engine bay.

Hmmmm maybe its a very unique MJ that was stumbled upon. We(members who work at dealers or have Chrysler access) have no way of running that VIN. The least amount of digits we can do is the last eight.

Even then it will be a hit or miss especially with the older ones

Go check the VIN post. Some really unique plates under the hood.

Looks like a foreign country kinda weird how it says Renault on it

[eaglescout526]

It is the oddest thing we probably have seen.

I agree this is an oddity for sure. Possible import? That's the only thing that kinda makes sense.

I don't think we can really run old 7 digit VINs like that either. I think it is an import/possible prototype that Renault goofed with and then retired it back to the U.S. This is a good mystery.

1981 was when the VIN was standardized and required 17 digit. In guessing this was either and import and or a factory test truck. Those are the only reason I know that it wouldn't have a full length VIN. The wired part is even if it was an import the rest of the world adopted the 17 digit VIN in 1981 also. I am very very intrigued by this one!!

Info is the thrill of the addiction with these trucks. Here's something for all the members stuck at home to do.

With this truck being equipped the way it is could it possibly be a personal truck say for Jose Dedeurwaerder,?
