That's the last part of a VIN

1 = check digit
H = year (87)
N = Norwood plant
rest of it = serial number

not much to work with there.... no engine code for example (would be the digit right before the 1)

i have checked the door jamb and what i posted was what was on the dash. i have yet to check the center console though. apparently the car was repainted and the stuff in the jamb was removed.

vin tag under winshield
Driver's side, look down at it through the windshield

Without that one, it's not a car any more, it's just a pile of useless scrap steel that sort of resembles a car, and that's why you got it for free.

It might have some decent parts in it, though.
