Question CRL Cobra manufacturer IDs

Just to stir this pot some more

My Classic Roadsters Limited (Fargo, ND origin) issued manufacturers ID is: 4KCDAK125RF000001

I bought my kit in either '92 or '93 just after Classic Roadsters people in Fargo took the business back from the people in Florida that had run it somewhat questionably. I actually traveled to Fargo prior to purchasing the kit to verify that they in fact could fulfill my order and to get a first hand assurance from the people involved that the company was real. They in fact did deliver on their word and I got a complete kit in as described condition on the delivery date they had given me.

Knowing that my kit was an early transaction for this rejuvenated Fargo business and seeing the ID on the manufacturers certificate of origin, I've always suspected the five zeros followed the "1" at the end of the ID was a serial number and my kit was the first to be delivered from the recently resumed Fargo operation. I've never had anything to substantiate this theory but nothing to disprove it either.

Does anyone know enough about the CRL Fargo operation in the '92 to '93 time frame to provide any insight or facts into this theory??
