WOW! My first post in the Yammi section. I feel kind like a Japanese virgin.

Anyway, got the kids a 80's SS 440. Not sure what year. Is there a way to tell by the VIN or something. Just trying to find resources for this thing so I can "boost it".

Sure should. Bought it from a guy who lost his paper work. I have a bill-o-sale and heading to the DOL this week.

I know I can go to my yammi dealer for the info. Just thought there was some secrete hidden code in the VIN that would tell me.

As far as I'm concerned, it a 2009 Nitro with duct tape on the seat and leaf springs.

Don't know much about them, cept my buddy had one and the kids rode it all the
time(2up) it was light easy to get unstuck... and was flipping fast(think it had a .20 over)
all it needed was some sort of suspension...

my cousins had 2- they were also Seattle Seahawk fans, so the colors matched nice... The would run with a Phazer after the tunnel was tapered. The leaf springs were a little brutal, but with plastic skiis, they worked well. Oh yeah, and don't leave the rear storage compartment open a little and hit a jump- they are a pain to fix
