RH:
So yours was probably built after April 1st 1978 and given an anniversary car...after May 1st? What's your build date? Last five digits of your VIN?

Hey Swtato:

I was wondering if you had been successful removing that lock...so your Pace Car VIN is 1660 and your spare tire rim is black?

Do you have the exact build date from the trim tag?
