I would like to see a picture of the VIN# from the driver's door or the one located at the top of the dash (drivers side), visible from the windshield.
A typical VIN# for a RHD SRT6 Coupe would be: 1 C 3 A P 7 9 N 0 6X068321
1=Country of Origin
C=Chrysler
3=Passenger car
A=Restraint system
P=RHD, N=LHD
7=SRT
5=Roadster; 9=Coupe
N=Supercharge
0=Security Verification
6=Model Year, not registration year
X=Osnabuck Germany, manufacturing location
068321= your serial number

This detail provides you with the actual VIN# that should appear on your RHD SRT6. I need to see a picture of your VIN# on your car.

Regards,
Dennis

See the edited info on my original response to you, I revised my response with what the VIN# should be for an SRT6 coupe.

The larger sticker appears to be different from any other manufacturing info sticker, my sticker has much more detail, including a bar code that can be scanned. It lists the manufacturer as Wilhelm Karmann, not the country of Germany, as yours indicates.

I think your jumping straight in and accusing me of having a 'stolen or written off' car because you don't recognize the VIN is a bit rich. How many 2006 SRT-6 VINs have you seen? That would be none because the 79 made were all RHD. You might have had the courtesy to check with Chrysler before offering your 'opinion', also RHD VIN stickers are different to LHD ones, we have checked. The link here vin decode for 2006 chrysler CROSSFIRE 3.2L V6 Supercharged Engine 1C3APE9N46X064168
shows a list of all 79 2006 SRT-6 made, all in RHD, all with same format as my VIN, and including my VIN ,its here: 1C3APE9N66X068321_chrysler
Dennis, this is a real problem for me as an accusation of having a 'stolen or written' off car may affect the value of the car as well as my reputation. Please do a little more research and come back to me with a more informed 'opinion'.

It's your car, you can do the investigation with Chrysler, beginning at your Chrysler dealership!

By maintaining the SRT6 database, the only data I find is the info listed: the last 5 numbers of the VIN#, Coupe or Roadster and the color. NO other information is collected nor asked for to have data added to the listing.

As to your VIN# label, it is completely different from those found in the USA.
VIN#'s have been altered in the past, my apology to you.


Dennis

My take is that 1755 kg refers to maximum loaded weight.

Considering that the info is offshore for a US-based VIN checker, If we get a couple more confirmations from UK and OZ SRT-6 owners, If they were MY shoes, I would lobby Dennis The Menace for a complete retraction (and deletion) of his unintentional/uninformed remarks.

I know/have met him. He's a fair man and should take his lumps for disparaging your intentions. Knowingly or not.

I'm cutting/pasting this into that thread.

I would. FWIW

I have no real knowledge of how foreign countries record VIN's. I would think they would have different requirements than that of the US. We already know that some manufactured cars that would be considered 2005's here in the states are in fact labeled 2006's in other countries. So that discrepancy is there. Hell, I'm surprised those numbers aren't upside down coming from where I live....just sayin'.....

Dave,
Here is another UK SRT6 VIN label that is the same as yours and totally legit. Obviously not all countries have the same requirements for VIN labeling.
I hope this clarify it for you. This photo is from the SRT6.com website SRT-6.com - Chrysler Crossfire SRT-6
Happy Motoring

My RHD UK SRT6 has the same style of label - and the number is very close (see sig. below) and is also 03/06.
I have long noticed how different our labels are from US labels.
Can't take a pic right now as it's at the garage for ABS sensor replacement.
