Default 25th TA verification?

I'm looking at a 25th at a local car lot. How do you tell if it is real? It has all the equipment, but I don't know what numbers I'm looking for. Is there one on the door tag like the later SS or is it one of the glovebox codes? I have a 30th already, and for some reason thought that 25th had numbered tags somewhere as well- but now see they don't. I know you can tell which number your car is, but where should that number be? Thanks!

Also, should I be concerned about the fender lip not being completely round on the drivers side? It has a slight bump at the top of the lip- not rust- I was looking for stress cracks, but have only heard about them on 4th gens. I've never seen one. Car is automatic.

One more, did all the 25th autos have the GT perform shift feature?

I was surprised at how little about 25ths is out there on the net, but I guess the net was very young when they came out.

Thanks for the help!

Check out page 155

And page 188

It looks like an RPO that has to be there is B71 which is either for the 25th anniv or it's for the white 5 spoke wheel. Either way that RPO must be there.

Just look for B71 on your RPO sheet.
