    What year is my deuce?

    Try not to flame me for posting this mundane question. The link to the decoding article got disabled right at the wrong time! I'm trying to get info for the SF97 and I have no idea what year this vehicle is. The guy at GL couldn't help me and actually suggested that I look at the taillight...
