Isn't that funny. I thought I remembered seeing other references to the Mears truck as being Redline, or maybe I am confusing that with the actual one given to de Ferran for winning the Indy. I am trying to obtain that VIN# also via Penske Racing.
So it was . I am not sure if I interpretted your note correctly but seems you know/knew Rick Mears, not just have lowriding in common. If you know the VIN or have easy access to it I would like to make note in the registry, sold or not. The VIN may already be there but even if it is I can attach his name to the vehicle history.
Oops, just remembered I had a conversation with Jeff (Blue Thunder) about this also.
CASH: Yes Rick is a friend, his personal SSR was black; I am not sure if the factory did some other unit in his name, he never mentioned that to me so it is probably like you said a unit Gil got. I doubt very much that Rick still has the Vin # as I mentioned before, he sold it in early 06; he offered it to me at great price but I really wanted the yellow.
My SSR: SSR 04 – PEDIGREE SSR Chrome Wheels w/ 1st Aux. Gauge Package released for Production. #9684
History pdf files are now updated so save them again.

Hi gwilli, I can probably help with this.
The VIN sequence for regular productionn SSR's ends with #1GCES14H06B1"24112",
meaning there were 24112 regular production SSR's.
Yours is #14422 of 24112 built and as yours is a , and there were a lot of built,
this would be the main number you are concerned with.
The "1" preceding 14422 means it is a "Regular Production" SSR.
When you see # of #, they refer to a more limited series in the regular production, most often
in the two tones. For example, there were 532 built, or 32 over etcetera.
The #7196 is total for US builds but the total 2005 builds are 7279 including Canadian builds.
You could say of all 2005's built yours is #335 of 7279.

Total build 826, carrying the FPR badge.
If you go back and edit your message to eliminate all the empty space, it would be easier to read, Lots of scrolling required to get to the bottom of it.

I think you sat on your enter bar so I'm not going to "quote" your footlong post, but in answer to your question any VIN after #1GCES14H_6B123286 is an FPR.
I see by the time I scrolled Flassh had answered. Who woke you up!

Too funny - you must not have used your hyperspeed scroll button.
Just happened to turn on the computer at a motel in Vancouver. I'd usually be rolling earlier, but just got in from the Eastern timezone at 3 AM Pacific.
We sat at the gate for over an hour while they searched for the bags of two people who volunteered to get off of an oversold flight.
