    Thanks Bob, I went there, had good info on VIN #'s, but I couldn't find anything on the service parts ID codes. I know some of them (ie. G80) is limited slip differential, but is there a reference list somewhere? I'd like to verify the codes to the equipment on the car. Ed

    Ed,

    A little small there sir.send me an email.

    I'm guessing you know its not a GN as advertised but a T-Type.
    1G4GK477 = Regal T-Type

    Regal T-Type Designers' Package includes: Special black and dark gray
    Designers' Accent paint; black front air dam and rear deck spoiler.

    Option WH1 = Designer Package, Consists of Gray Accent Paint, rear spoiler and front air dam, Paint code 19 (black) required. N.A. with body side stripes.

    Send me the RPO codes and I'll translate that puppy for you. :TU:

    Saved from the GN T-Type list . . thanks to Ken Fritsch (MABPC Member)

    My 86 GN's window sticker indicates it was a T-Type with a GN "WE2" option added. For 87 the window sticker says Grand National, but there is no specific VIN for a GN

    Thanks Loyd, that's a big help I didn't have some of those, but I don't have any numbers past NA5, which are crucial in determining the WH1 status. Still trying....
