Somewhere in that vin is the identification for the interior. Theres black intetior with gray or gold purse straps, nutmeg with purse straps so between those three you can pretty much tell if it was a Laredo or Jamboree. The Limited has a code for western weave or leather seats in Nutmeg , Slate blue so that tells you that model as well. Renegades didnt get the leather wrapped grab bar or steering wheel with the different horn button either.Glad to hear you've "moved up" to a CJ over the prior YJ. Contrary to Huey Lewis, in terms of Jeeps, it is NOT hip to be square
Unfortunately the VIN won't tell you trim packages or dealer options. And near all options that were available as part of a trim package were also available individually as dealer add-ons. And if it's been repainted, any decals (Renegade stuff on the hood for example) would have been removed by a PO that did the repaint. Now it is possible to make a best guess by looking for a set of options that would have come together as part of a trim package. Using the Renegade example again, I believe that package included the "Decor Group" options, which included the front frame overlay, instrument panel overlay, shiny rocker moldings, high back front seats with matching rear seat, sport steering wheel, day/night mirror, under dash courtesy light, an engine compartment light, and intermittent wipers. The Laredo was the fully loaded one, with all Renegade options plus a chrome grill, clock, tach, and fancy wheels. So if you have all of those together, that could be a great clue. Not 100% conclusive, but strongly suggests. That tranny/engine combo was also available on many CJs of various flavors. So no clue there either.
My CJ7 had the original high back front seats, but a PO had replaced the rear seat, so no way to know if I had a matching package. I have no clock/tach in the dash, but do have the leather wrapped grab bar and it did have the day/night mirror (I have since replaced). I also have a dash overlay, but not original. So no way to know if there was another in the past or not. I have the under dash courtesy lights, but no under hood light. Mine has been repainted, but in the original color. Whether there were any decals/graphics at some point I can't tell. A PO also added after-market rocker panels, so no way to know if there were any original shiny ones or not. Unless you have an all original one owner type Jeep, you may never know for sure. Just make it what you want and enjoy it.
I have ever one of the options you listed. tons of chrome theres a spot where there was a sticker in two spots and the steering wheel is leatherGlad to hear you've "moved up" to a CJ over the prior YJ. Contrary to Huey Lewis, in terms of Jeeps, it is NOT hip to be square

interesting because the back set is only one left and its black with a two white stripes
yes i read that and also have seen some were actually 1982.5 so possibly titled as 1983
A little different 
I have this one
I dont see the plastic black dash application around the speedo and dash pulls for the defrost , fan etc. I dont see evidence of it being removed either but that doesn't mean it wasnt. It would need that to be a Jamboree. Laredo models also had pin striping around the edges of the dash. Cant see it on yours but again its easily removed. Deciphering that VIN is going to help. From what you said about the chrome and rear seat Id lean towards a Laredo
I get it, I'm a Jeep owner and ad-block detectors kinda stink but ads are needed on this site. This is a CJ site, all the ads are set for autos (some times others get through.) I cannot make them just for Jeeps but I try.
Please allow ads as they help keep this site running by offsetting the costs of software and server fees.
