NICE !!!

Has there been any other build sheets posted with the "M" code? This type of documentation is crucial to authenticate this type of car. Love it.

Congrats and glad this one has stayed alive in good hands and remains there today! Just when we thought we knew everything SSP...

I have not seen any other "M" code order types in 1982. All of the 1982 CHP build sheets that I have seen so far have a code "5" (Fleet) for order type.

I'll have to look later to see if I have build sheets from any other year with a code M order type.

I guess "1" is a retail order then?

My others all (SSP) have the 5. Good stuff.

Thanks Brad, Mike, and Jonathon.

Car was repainted once years ago. It will be a bit before I get the steel wheels back on (blast and paint before I remount tires).

Yes, 1 is retail.

The two most common for non-SSP are retail order (1) and dealer stock (2).
The most common for SSP is fleet (5).
