Yes! Point earned and given.

Now, I will award an additional point to the first person to identify the chassis number of the particular car shown in the puzzle photo. (Hint: This is not as difficult as it may seem.)

Open to Pros as well!

It was mine when I originally created this username. Regretfully, I was the seller at Gooding PB back in 2008. (The car has not been sold since and remains with the gentleman who purchased it from me.)
