Here is a VIN decoder for verification of airbag cars: http://www.omnilith.net/omniville/vinpage.htm My 88 Shelby Z (the hardtop Dodge, not the T-top Chrysler, which has no airbag) has a build date of 6-17-88 (located left side of 3rd line from bottom on fender tag). The VIN is 1B3YA64A1JGxxxxxx So it was built in St. Louis on 6-17, and has driver airbag and manual belt, passenger auto belt.
The 88 Chrysler Shelby Z has a build date of 3-10-88. St. Louis plant, no airbag, manual belts. 1C3BA64A7JGxxxxxx And my 89 C/S: 1-17-89 St Louis plant DRIVER AIRBAG! manual belts 1B3XG24AXKGxxxxxx Mat, What is the build date of your 88 car with airbag? Are there any daytonas built at other plants? I have only seen cars from St. Louis.

A is 1981, B is 1982, C is 1983, so G is 1988 and H should denote 1989. hope this clears things up a bit mat.
