    I am going to look at a 72 sprint car is there anything on the vin that will confirm it is a real sprint?

    Nothin in the vin identifies a Sprint. The only way besides a Marti report is the data tag in the door jamb. A Sprint will have RB for a trim code.

    If this car is in Canada and has a Canadian DSO...it will probably have a Canadian sticker on the rear quarter instead of a USA sticker.

    There was a REALLY NICE one for sale in Alberta a year or so ago, and it had a rear spoiler and Grabber hood, painted up with the Sprint stripes. It looked nice! I would think there wouldn't be too many Canadian-DSO Sprints... would love to see pictures when you look at it!
