Hmmm...not necessarily so. Those smog tests were done well after it came out of service by who knows how many owners later. It's still interesting information but nowhere near conclusive enough to draw that connection. Need the Assignment Card or some other solid documentation.

That's what I thought too.

Much appreciated Ryan

I want to double check the vin first to be sure FoxChassis didnt mis read the faded door tag accidentally on FEP.

Lol. I think 8336 and 8337 will be equally cool when they are side by side at Ripon

Thanks Rich

You don't need to go to FEP to do that. I'm right here.

I only have a day or two left on Autocheck - so let me know the VIN when you have it and I'll send you the results.

Thanks to Ryan, a new mystery has turned up

What showed up on the autocheck.

Hmm... looks like she was a ghost for a while... very interesting find you got there.

You can now call it "Casper"

Let's call her "Casper" then?

YES!! Casper it is

and the car is white

ANOTHER PIECE OF HISTORY IS FOUND!!
Found a late 80's early 90's Cali plate in the trunk attached to the front plate bracket. I was hoping that the CHP still had it in the 90's (quite possible as when my dad went to MT in the late 90's, they still had a Diplomat), or that it went to a different agency after the CHP. I am checking the plate # on the link Bill posted.

There is still hope!!
Ran the plate and all that came up is the same as when I ran the VIN (like I posted before- only the 2 98-00 smog checks)
