Re: Door Tag Decode Help Needed

[amcnut@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Checking behind the steering box will only confirm whether or not the VIN is the correct one for the car. There should be 7 digits stamped behind the box: the engine code followed by the 6 digit serial number. 

Either way, it sounds like a legit Z-code Javelin, at the least...
