That's the best way other than having your local dealership or someone that works for a dealership run the VIN for you. It's too easy to clone the fourth-gen ram air cars. There are lots of bad clones with easy dead give-a-ways that folks try really hard to pass off as legit too.

then again i don't claim that my car is a real WS6 (no badge) but i do have a factory WS6 airbox/hood
my only dead giveaway is that rather than buying a new AIR hose for the airbox, i just extended my existing air hose. i went so far as to buy an oem blockoff plate for down in the fenderwell where the old airbox was. well that and i am not running WS6 tips. i like the stocker non ws6 quad round tips better than the oval ones.
then theres also the fact they didn't actualy make a WS6 in 1995 so it'd be pretty bad if i did try to pass it off as a real 1995 WS6 T/A

what year is your car? if its an LT1 96-97 WS6 it will actually be in the glove box. if its a 98+ car its on the drivers door.
that one might actually be an LT1 hmm....
according to carfax that vin is for a 97. it also has 32 records
so maybe sometime in 97 they started putting the rpo codes on the door instead of the glove box. i know on my 95 they are in the box and not on the door.

WOW!!! What a find! Congratulations. That has to be one of the finest SOM with low miles examples in the world. I mean how many can there be in such a rare color with under 10k miles??? Whatever you paid it was well worth it. Now the big question. A driver for your wife???? Are you insane??

Thanks. We feel so lucky to have found this car. Believe me that it kills me that shes gonna put miles on it but that's why we bought it. We were looking to finally get her first brand new car. I was wanting her to get something like a G8 GT. She told me she really always wanted a "new" TA so we started looking and found this one.... She is the type of girl who will take good care of it and already plans to keep it forever. Will
