00-0001... Mine?

I just bought a 2000 USDM PY ITR in SoCal to replace my '01 Black ITR (more on that later, elsewhere)

Out of curiosity, I checked the badge number and it says 00-0001 (I'll take a pic later when it's light out)

Healthy skepticism.

I called the guy I purchased it from, and he said the previous owner swears it is, but we don't know how to go about verifying this.

Does anyone know how I might go about checking this? I'm very curious

Is it a py with a built motor? Pretty sure 00-0001 was in eBay a few weeks back

Re: 00-0001... Mine?

actually 0001 doesn't mean its the 1st one since the badge number was assigned randomly if im right. When i was shopping for my actual R a came across 0823 and according to serial number it was build 10 car a head of acutal 0817

Yes, built motor. Just bought her this week, so it may very well have been the same one.

See above for pic

Re: 00-0001... Mine?

Hope the seller didnt have it listed as 0001 trying to get a few extra bucks on people not being educated on the badges.

That would have made him a meanie.

Not true, at least most of the time. This particular caR is 00-0001 and also has the first VIN issued to an ITR for the 2000 model year.

Most of the time, higher the VIN, higher the badge. Many many instances of there being a perfectly linear relation VIN to Badge #. Very common in 1997-2000. By 2001 however, many batches were randomly assigned badges.

Congrats to the OP, keep heR safe!
