All good advice. Thank you! I'm getting the same from all companies, $2000 enclosed, $1300-1400 open. 25% of the cost of the car!!

Perfect! thank you again. Any info on data plate codes?

This seller continues to email me trying to get me to buy it out of the auction. I told him someone else is bidding more than I offered. He said you never know about deadbeat buyers so make him an offer. I believe he has multiple accounts and is acting as a "shill" buyer to artificially raise...

Thanks Dave. Sounds like a positive ID now. I would still love to find a Complete list of the codes online. I have purchased Govier's books to decode in the past but they are not complete and are misleading at times.... unless of course you pay his company GTS to put it to paper.... then...

CA dmv out here will register it temporarily but you cant transfer ownership here without it according the Auto Club AAA. Pass!

Thank You ieman! That ruler is perfect for to identify the correct spacing and weave. The guy is down to $7800 now. Shipping to west coast is ridiculous. Basically 1/3 the cost of the car for enclosed transport from MA. Gotta be a shipper out of MA cheaper?

Engine shows A9 B9. AB 99 This (fender) data plate is off a 300 not a letter car. Does anyone have confirmed info to support that 99 on a 300 none letter is indeed a 413? Mixed info about that code. Normally 71 is a 413. I did see a pic from a 300L showing AB...

That helps. Thank you! If you can get real close with a camera I would appreciate it.
