Hello all,
New member first post!
I've just started my search for an '87 GN up in Ontario Canada and have been doing a significant amount of research to inform my efforts.
Recently, I saw a very nice '87 GN, but I had a couple of questions regarding the car's provenance that I wanted to run by this community.
1. Vehicle VIN and block VIN
Upon inspection, I noticed that the VIN on the dashpad and the VIN on the block are not exactly the same, but very close.
In this case I know the original owner and he advises that the engine has not been removed, but it's rather odd; see pic.
Is it possible this is an assembly line error, or has the engine been replaced?
2. RPO label and body tag
I'm also wondering if the body number from the body tag (front cowl) should match to a number on the trunk lid
RPO sticker (again see image)?
Also, if there are any members on the board with an '87 GN t-top for sale in Canada, I'd be interested in hearing from you!
Thank you for any advice.
