Paul N. Strange Vin on C/L ad! 8R01C117261

Im no expert, but this is a clean car... the odd thing is some decoders are tagging it a possible CS car, but its not. Why would that be?

Vin looks like a GT-CS? 8R01C117261 Car built early (before Feb 15th) but while optioned out (except no AC or head rests, its NOT a GT-CS car, just a GT car perhaps.)

It's probably not a CS, because the 117,000 series was built just before CS production began.

And that first day of production is....OOPS! I can't tell you, it's Marti info, and it's in my book.

Interesting, tho. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
