Don't know if this has been posted anywhere, if so please point me to it, I didn't find anything searching...

I've seen a few Choo Choo Customs, 83-87, and some had the door jamb sticker but in 2 instances, the sequencing of the numbers were different. One had the last 6 digits of the VIN in the middle and another had it at the end. for example:

CCC/xxxxxx/EBP-2x

the other:

CCC/EBP4-5xx/xxxxxx

Are both correct or only one way? Also one didn't have any body side moldings and didn't have have the train emblem on the dash (it actually had the "Super Sport" dash emblem) and the other had two-tone paint and the dash train emblem.

Is there any definitive way for this sticker to be typed out? Does anybody have any pics of the sticker on a car that is definitely a true Choo Choo?

The one that looks typed correctly doesn't have the train emblem, and the one the typing doesn't look right it does have the train emblem, plus optional sidepipes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

They are both correct. In the 83-84 Choo Choo, the six numbers from the VIN were inserted in the center, but from 85 through 87 the six numbers from the VIN were inserted at the end.

(I split this post from it's original thread so it would be easier for someone to find)
