Plymouth VIN Check: What is a Plymouth VIN?

Plymouth started as Chrysler’s value brand, competing directly with Ford and Chevrolet. Although they brand mostly sold stripped-down versions of their parent company’s vehicles, they have their share of classics. The GTX, Fury, Barracuda, Duster and Road Runner were a big part of the 1960s muscle car craze, while the Superbird’s aerodynamic styling was so radical that it was banned from racing. The brand was reborn with the release of the 1984 Voyager, the first modern minivan. Sales dwindled as the Plymouth gradually became the fleet sales arm of Chrysler. It would get one last hurrah with the Prowler, an experimental aluminum-intensive vehicle styled to look like a classic hot rod. Chrysler shut down the brand in 2001.

Sometimes you need a cheap, reliable vehicle to get to work, and sometimes you want something fun to drive on the weekends. Either way, Plymouth built cars that make a great choice for your next vehicle. How can you make buying a used Plymouth easier? Start with a VIN check from EpicVIN. Our search system will tell you what all those letters and numbers mean, including where the car was manufactured, and what equipment it came with. From there, you can check on the vehicle’s history by buying a VIN report. This lets you know about accidents and potential legal issues, so you can steer clear of lemons.

Plymouth VIN Number Lookup

A VIN number is more than just a serial number. This 17 character code can tell you where a vehicle was built, when it was built, and what trim and engine it came with. This makes it a lot easier to find your next Plymouth. By verifying this factory information with the seller’s listing, you can avoid errors and spot falsified information. It also tells you things about a vehicle that the seller may forget to mention. That way, you can filter out cars that don’t have the specifications you want.

Where to Search for the VIN?

Plymouth put the VIN on several parts of the vehicle, making it harder for this number to be falsified. Here’s a list of the most common VIN locations.

The VIN is on a plate riveted to the dash board. You can see this plate by standing next to the driver’s side door and looking through the windshield.

The VIN is also stamped on the inside of the frame. This VIN can be seen by lifting a carpet flap under either the driver’s or passenger’s seat.

Open the driver’s door and look at the B pillar. On the side or front of this pillar, you should see a large sticker with vehicle information. The VIN is either above or below the bar code on this label.

Open the hood. You may see the VIN in two locations: on the cowl, next to the driver’s side hood support, or on the radiator support, next to the hood latch. On some older cars, you may be a partial VIN on these areas. Partial VINs are the last 8 characters of the VIN, but the characters before the serial number switch places. For example, if the VIN ends with “RX203793”, you should see “XR 203793” stamped into the vehicle.

The engine may have a “VIN pad” on one side of the block, next to the oil pan. On rear wheel drive vehicles, this flat, raised area is on the passenger’s side. The VIN is also used to identify the vehicle on documentation. Titles, insurance cards, build sheets and window stickers have this number on them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Locations vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. However, there are three places you can find the code on most vehicles:

- Look through the windshield at the dashboard. On the driver’s side, you should see a small metal plate with the number stamped into it.
- Open the driver’s door. Look at the front and side of the door pillar for an I.D. sticker. It usually has the manufacturer’s logo on it. The code should be on this sticker.
- Open the hood. You may see a sticker on the firewall or near the passenger’s side strut tower. Some cars have the number engraved in one of these areas.

Since this number is used to identify the vehicle on official documents, you can also find it on the title, the window sticker, and on insurance policies.

We also decode numbers for RVs, heavy-duty trucks and motorcycles. If you need to decode an RV number, make sure it’s the one issued by the chassis manufacturer, not the RV outfitter.

No. Canadian and Mexican cars usually use the same format. Other countries use their own formats.

It’s up to the manufacturer to determine what they want to include for some parts of the number. For example, some companies don’t include information about transmissions or trim levels.

Usually, no. A few manufacturers stamp the code into the engine. If the VINs on the engine and car match, then it’s the original engine. On most vehicles, there isn’t anything that ties an engine to a specific vehicle. At most, looking up the vehicle on our website will tell you if a different type of engine was installed. For example, if someone swaps a V8 into a Ford Mustang, our site will tell you it originally came with a V6.
