My name is Tony and I have just become the owner of the second CJ5 I have ever owned. The problem is I don't know what I've purchased. The VIN is JOM83AB720838. I've used the VIN decoder but the engine description says N/A. The B in the VIN on the firewall is definately a B. That is also what is shown on the title. It has a AMC 304 , 4spd, power steering, power brakes, factory tach and clock, volt, oil pressure, and dashpad. Can anyone help me figure out what I have? Thanks!
The correct color for an AMC v8 is blue. I still have the original oil filler for my v8 and it's still kinda blue. Eastwood sells it... Eastwood High Temperature Ceramic Engine Paint - AMC BlueThanks for all the help guys! The AMC 304 engine is painted red and looks as though it has been red since day one. Is that a correct color for a 1980?
Can you post what you want decoded? I have books on CJ's. I'm sure we can help.Is there a resource for decoding the other codes on the VIN plate?
