If the VIN number orginally belonged to this car... ;-)

Then yes, its a diesel. The "A" in the fourth VIN position means that the car is a 123 chassis, the "B" in the fifth position means its a diesel (gasser would be "A") and the "C" in the tenth position means its an 1982 version. The last six numbers are the production number, and I must say 000560 seems too low for this year/model, so I have some question about it. Could this be a grey market car? Some of them had the Euro style chassis number converted to the US style VIN when brought over...
