How Do You Determine The Year & Model Of An RX-7 By The Vin Number?
Your Mazda RX-7 has a VIN, or Vehicle Identification Number, which provides information about the car. Within the VIN code for Mazda vehicles, the fourth and fifth characters provide information about the model and the 10th character of the 17-character sequence provides information about the year. Locate the VIN, which is on the dashboard and beneath the windshield of the car on the driver’s side. If you cannot read the VIN from this location, you can refer to the Certificate of Title and Registration for the VIN. Verify that the first three characters of the vehicle’s VIN is “JM1,” which is representative of the World Manufacturer Identification number assigned to Mazda vehicles by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Mazda vehicles use the 4th and 5th character of the VIN sequence to define the platform and narrow down the year range for your RX-7. Use the following list for further definition on the platform.
