Type your vin in the box below,then press the Decode Button:

I have not been able to locate a reference that will sort the VIN by serial code.
As the above dealer price list reads, unless you can track the individual serial of your jeep it can not be proven to be a golden eagle, hawk, Laredo, renegade, etc. Only the base model is identified without this.

How To
Locate Serial / VIN Numbers on Kaiser & AMC Jeep CJs
There are several places to look when trying to find the serial number
/ Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on a Jeep CJ. The exact location
that the VIN number was stamped was moved over the years.
-
Look for a nice large data plate located on the dashboard
to the left of the steering column.
-
Look for a small strip of metal riveted to the backside
top of the Windshield Wiper Motor Cover. It can be seen by standing outside
the driver's side of the jeep, looking through the windshield glass at
the wiper motor cover.
-
Look for a data plate attached to the firewall, inside
the engine compartment. Look on the firewall in front of both the driver
as well as the passenger side.
-
Look on the side wall of the vehicle's frame right behind the Right Front
Wheel Arch. Approximately just above the leaf spring mount.
-
Look on the top wall of the vehicle's frame
at the top of the Right Rear Wheel Arch. Approximately top dead center
of wheel arch.
