Let’s just say you hit a dead end with the ownership history or tracking down the original block, then what?
I’m not doubting what this car is, just playing devil’s advocate here and also want to educate myself on the general consensus in case I come across something like this in the future. Pretty much all the tell tale signs that the car is a COPO could have been added at any point after the car left the factory, and from what I’ve read, the X44D80 on the trim tag is not limited to COPO cars.

The original poster summed up the identifying points in first post; rear, piercings. throttle arm, dual exhaust plate, ...etc
Next helpful hint is if dealer was a know sell COPO's.
