One sure way....8th digit of VIN must be a "9" or no-go.

Correct. There was supposed to be 1 per Chevy dealer. I remember going to Bob McDorman's annual swap meet around that time. He had purchased a lot of these cars from other dealers. He had about 30 of them lined up on the lot.

-----I think Bob bought two from us at Classic Motors. We probably had about ten or twelve go thru the books. A few of them we never even saw as they got redirected to new owners who immediatly tried to flip them too........Bill S
