I don't think he was asking where it is,just write it down and go to a delarship and they should be able to tell you everything about the car like,car color,interior,tranny,motor,rearend,etc.

The eighth digit should be the engine ident code, if it is an A or M, it was orignally a 2.3 liter, an E is a 5.0.
