And anything else interesting about the car...

Here's the VIN, tell me where to go, or let me know what you find.

Well, paint code isn't in the VIN. Do you have the original door sticker? It would be there. About the only things that the VIN tells us is Make, Model and Year of car, engine, body style and consecutive unit #. Yours is 209432. Unit #s start at 100001. So, your VIN won't tell you anything you don't already know since it's a V8 hatchback made in 1986.

The paint code may also be found on the buck tag if it is still attached to your radiator core support. Take a look there.

the paint code is 2 digits, Med. Canyon Red is 2A....

Is there a website or something that lists all the different paint codes for the 86 year?
