1. Please provide a copy of documentation you have to verify the color combination and leather seating, which I’m assuming is the tank sticker build sheet.
2. Please also provide a photo of the center console close-up, which shows the factory air-conditioning controls.
3. Please send multiple photos of the engine stamp pad, showing the Towanda plant assembly date and suffix code and the serial number.
Thanks.
