Candian model for sure,
has a Maple Leaf as paort of the VIN on the door sticker.
very very unmolested looking.

it was already starting to be stripped for parts when the guy bought it.
No headliner, no dash, no seats, steering disconnected, engine hacked
out with a sawzall...
it was legit with Ca title etc.
the cop even wrote somewhere on a form ..'hidden frame VIN is a
derivative of the main VIN' ,    ( since the frame one had the Z's -
same # just with Z's added )

I would be very suspicious as to why the vehicle did not have a dash as that is a favored tactic used by black market importers (differentiated from grey market). The sticker can be reasonably easy to reproduce though quality is often spotty.
