Units, as in plural. Wonder if CF234609, which is the second in that consecutive group of two P10F VINs, is also under DSO 26-0200?

Did anyone ever run a Marti Report on this second VIN? A Deluxe version would be better to see if it also comes back listed as a "Marketing Vehicle".

I don't think I ran one.....I did finally hear back from an employee there who looked to see if they had the Eminger for that one. Sadly, they do not.

I also called several companies who supposedly had old records for the license plate shown in the photo provided by Tpr. Pruett. Everyone claims that they do not have the info going back that far, including the state. I'm sure there's an old box of the records somewhere (or microfiche), just haven't met the right person who knows where that info might be.

Well, you have certainly tried! I will include CF234609 in my next batch of Marti Reports to order, and I will get the Deluxe version in hopes of confirming it as another Marketing Vehicle.

Good deal, thanks.

Sure thing! I just ordered three reports:

1. 1982 1FABP10F7CF234609 (the VIN after your 82)
2. 1984 1FABP26M2EF224519 (DSO 83-0809)
3. 1986 1FABP26M5GF257534 (Utah car)

I did four-eye cars because they are not found as often as the aero cars.

That's great of you to do, Bill. Looking forward to seeing the report.

Early prediction...it will be the same (marketing).

If EF224519 comes back as an SSP I have the door tag for it. It was on ebay in Lake Devil Hill ND in 2014.

No new concrete info on the '82. However, after talking with Jim Y. and Bobby I decided to swing by the shop and see if I have any white overspray around the trunk/roof line, in the nooks and crannies. I never really paid much attention to that before, but thought it was worth a closer look.

Looking into those areas with a flashlight, I could plainly see white at the top and sides of the roof (where the molding is). I could also see where the car was painted with the moldings left on, as there is a tape line with black overspray on the molding.

I'm going to do a little wetsanding this weekend (never got to it last weekend, for those that knew). I'm going to hit the b-pillar at the paint break where the in-service pic of the car TX DPS is painted white. If it's the same car, it was repainted black before being sold. My car then received another black paint job a few years back. So, I'm hoping for 2 layers of black paint followed by some TX DPS white.

I'll post pics of the results when I have them.
