Eagle VIN Number Decoded?
Posted: Thu May 11, 2017 9:44 am
Using my VIN number (1EUA6A12FB031530) and some information posted in various groups I have attempted to recreate the numbering system Eagle developed to meet the 17 digit VIN number format mandated by the government in the ‘80s
The first digit signifies plant: 1 is Brownsville, and 2 is Harlingen plant
The second digit is E which signifies Eagle
The third and fourth digits are U and A which signify United
States
The fifth digit signifies engine cylinders 6 or 8
The sixth digit represents the transmission: A for automatic
The seventh thru tenth digits are reported to be computer generated
The eleventh and twelfth digits give more information about the bus, examples:
02 Trailways Model 10
03 All other seated model 10
04 Australian RHD
05 Suburban 10S
06 Suburban TW
07 Model 15
08 Model 15 TW/GH
09 Model 20
The last 4 digits are the equivalent of the original serial number
I would welcome discussion to confirm or correct the above information.
