[dougphillips48]

Not mine, but if the owner's manual is for this car the VIN number is in the middle of a group of CHP cars. http://eastnc.craigslist.org/cto/4455353743.html

I sent the seller a text requesting a picture of the VIN label.

[28HopUp]

The seller sent me a photo of the VIN label and the only Buck Tag he found. We cannot call this one a SSP with 100% certainty until we order a Marti Report (add another one to the list!). But the 6-digit DSO number is certainly different than the CHPs starting a few VINs later.

That buck tag has been relocated for sure. You can see the original staple holes and it's now been riveted to the top of the radiator core support.
