VIN decoder?

[Huw Powell]

> I searched the archives, but the only link I could find is dead. Can anybody provide a link to an Audi VIN decoder? The reason I'm asking is that according to http://www.europeancarweb.com/archives/features/0102_features_88audicoupe.shtml the 5th space is for the engine and C = NG engine in the CGT (making it a "Special Build" but my car has the NG and it has E as the 5th space. I just want to make sure somebody didn't "make" a Special Build and rip me off...

David, I've been meaning to mention this for a while... you are the only
place I have ever seen the 1987.5 Coupe referred to as a "special
build."  All it is, is that the end of the model year got the 2.3 NG
engine - which is the big bonus (well, and the rear disc brakes, I
guess), and was painted slightly differently (mirrors, spoiler, body
color, right?).

What matters are two things - one, its a coupe GT - great car.  two, you
have the 130 hp 140 ft lb engine - great engine.  sweet combination.

"special build" seems to me to be what *you* call it.  I'd be happy with
a 1987.5 Audi Coupe GT!
