Another vin decode if you please

Post by azfiredog300 »

I found the door tag and it did match the numbers on the firewall. #3J29U518176, does this mean I have the 170 motor? What other info does the vin give me? Also, on the door tag above where the vin is there are some numbers they are 62C J 58 23G 52 3 3. Can anyone help with these numbers? Greatly appreciated.

I made a mistake on the second number, its actually 62C l 58 23G 52 3 3. I'm not sure if it is an i or an l. That would be a different paint code right?
