Here is a couple pics of exterior, i dont have any of the interior but i might be wrong it might be dark red interior not med red i need to get build sheet out an look at codes again, Interior pretty dark but not sure if they call it med or dark.. I love the exterior color but i am not as fond of the red interior but want to keep it factory so I keep the red... :)

Lee, thanks for pictures! No don't change a thing! I have never seen that combo! Kewl.
Not sure about your paint question, they had just set that line up. Be happy yours was painted in BG as the crew in the St Louis old paint shop knew they were loosing there jobs and did some pretty crapy paint jobs.

That number is the VIN Check Digit. It ensures you have a valid VIN.
According to our VIN Decoder, it is a valid VIN, and 8 is the correct value.
