Would it be safe to say the above vin is a Florida Highway Patrol?

Below is a section I found in the vin project.

I saw that car on eBay too. It is most likely a FHP, given the property sticker in the photo and the car's color scheme. You could ask the seller to send you a photo of the VIN label or Buck tags. The DSO is likely 24-0498.

Thanks! I talked with the seller earlier today. He is not familiar with Buck tags, but said he will look for them for me. I am to contact him again tomorrow for some additional photos too. I will have him include one of the VIN label.

Do you see any concerns in the listing or pictures? Otherwise this is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks!

Here's the car in question on eBay -

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ssp-/1916553...p2054897.l4275

I haven't taken a real critical view of the car (some guys are great about noticing little details/flaws in f/s ads), but it looks pretty nice. You can tell it had a recent repaint because of the untouched fender edges under the hood (the doorjams too). It will need tires if you intend to drive the car, but those Eagles may be of interest to anyone looking for tires for their correctly restored show car.

Wow just ran a AutoCheck on this car and it says in 2005 the car had 162,000 miles. The seller has it reported as having "low mileage" 118,000.

Also the seller says it has "no hit body". The report says the car was in 2 accidents.

I guess the $11.00 I spent is well worth it!
