    Project M99Ocho

    Ahab, you say “plain Virginia 201st”, cuz that is curious to me because the “W” on the stenciled markings is almost hand written. The rest of the numbers and letters are clearly sprayed through a stencil.. FWIW..

    question with date code

    Well, unless all the researchers are wrong, then Id say its 2010. My date code is (12 05 M), and that dates pressumably to Dec, 5th, 2005. And guessing since my m998 was at MMA in 2006 makes it likely it got a 2005 motor tossed in it at the time. Just my 2cents,,
