Hello all, I am talking to an old farmer who tells me he has a 1978 Chrysler but he can not send me any pictures at the moment. Rego papers say it is a Town and Country so should be a wagon BUT he says it is a sedan with Lebaron on it ( still right for a wagon ) but he also says it has the 400 engine that the 78 Lebaron did not have so I do not know what to think.
He did send me the Vin number so am hoping someone can decode it for me
FP41GBG109643 car is in Canada if that makes a differance?
 
i am sure others will flesh this out... here's what i came up with... I am pretty sure engine code "G" is 318 2bbl in 1978.

Wagon body codes i found were "45" and "46" in 1978. "41" in VIN indicates four door sedan. "8" (not "B") in VIN is 1978MY

VIN indicates a 78 (should be 8 not B) Chrysler LeBaron Medallion four door sedan with 318 (first G) built at the St. Louis plant (second G). I do not believe a 400 was an available option.
