Default VIN Number Question

Thinking about buying a coupe car, and I got the vin number on the car... But I can't find any information on the engine code for an LX car... I found a GT registration page serveral times, but nothing on an lx...

1facp40m....

The M is my problem... I need to know if this is an original v8 car... Need to know what the m stands for, its the 8th digit, the engine code... So if anyone knows, I would appreciate it

Hmmm... Thing I can't figure out is that the title says 8 cylinder... I thought the E was for 5.0, so thats what was making me wonder... But this car is a v8 car with an 8.8 rear end...
