The Numbers Game with the (SPI) Trunk ID Label - Kirban

[Dennis Kirban]

I have the six anwers to Automotive Trivia #56, but I have won that prize already so I want someone else to have a shot.

Come on guys!

kirban 2 cents worth

how do you know you hit on the answers? Go ahead and post them and I would change your prize......to the Palms Coin.....$40 value.....you blow it and the next person may get it 100%.....You need all 3 correct years all 3 correct models. You gamble and lose I will make the award the palms coin or the 100 annversary book both somewhat hard to get. The winner can chose.

So, Mr LeSabre are you that confident?

Show your hand.

kirban

I'm betting your rite.

Figuring out bluehairs trunk ID label. The main focus of this thread. Actually, the part of the thread that doesn't cost me anything!

He already states it is one of the rare turbo-T Limited models. He has T-Tops CC1 code a $895 value should be the locking version.

Has VD6 and VD7 which is the aluminum bumper braces which is desireable. Not an option but a feature. He does have the pos G80 code most of the G codes refer to the 8 1/2 rear, 3.42 gears, G80 was a $100 option.

Funny no codes listed for any floor mats. They did not get the optional courtsey lites in the door panels either. AM6 is the 45/55 split sets a $133 option. They are cloth.

A90 power trunk release $50 option AU3 power locks $145 option, A31 power windows $210 option, B93 chrome door edge guards $15 option, (car has chrome package),

Original Owner spent the big bucks got the best radio UX1 $504 am/fm eq cassette, U75 power antenna $70 option probably don't work or been replaced?

UW4 concert sound speakers in the doors $95 option, takes 4 different codes to cover all the springs one code starts with number 6 for one front number 7 for other front number 8 for one of the rears number 9 for the other rear coil spring.

The main option LC2 is the turbo engine a $1,422 option in the Limited. You have no VK3 code which is front license plate bracket probably means your car originally sold in a state that does not require from license plates. I see you reside in KY. I can't member if that state has front plates or not. D68 left & rite remote mirrors $83 option.

TT5 Tungsten halogen headlites $25 option. AT6 optional recliner on passenger seat $75 option.

Summing it up you got 70 codes on a Limited. Nothing unusual to speak of that I can see. Someone spent the good money for a good radio speakers etc, yet didn't spend anything for floor mats. These are the main codes on your label.

As usual I welcome any comments you might have or questions.

thanks for sharing your trunk ID label with us. We welcome any others as it breaks things up.

awesome thanks. someone must have robbed the aluminum braces some time or other because neither the front or rear have them. i know the car has been hit in the front at one time and had a fender and hood put on it i beleive so im sure they brace went by by... all other options seem correct. my power antenna does still work. there is some aftermarket kenwood stereo in there now but i would like to have an original to go back in it...id rather listen to the turbo and exhaust! didn't know about the reclining seat thats kinda cool....and yeah it has some cheap autozone floor mats in it right now...fixing to rid that problem soon enough.:biggrin:

Thats ashame about the aluminum braces yes, if car ever had front end work body shops would simply go with a bumper brace they got used so in most cases it would be the steel one. Your code states VD 6 and VD 7 means aluminum was original in front and rear. Weird that your back one is also steel....did you do a magnet test? If that is steel I would look over the back end real carefully making sure it was never hit in the rear. Again just my thoughts.

As for the aftermarket radio, if you ever have a reason to pull it out see what they did concerning the factory harness. If it was cut you need to locate the 3 plastic plugs each one is a different color and splice them back prior to hooking up the correct radio.

Glad to help,

Photo one the engine photo: I need the exact year and model car it is.

Photo two shows a portion of a car. Tell me the model and the year.

Your first answer both parts are wrong

Your second answer year is correct however model is wrong

Third answer you got both rite.

So, out of 6 answers you are half way there....and so is any one else that is reading this.

happy 4th of July....I know in canada you have a 4th of July although not noted as a holiday.

Hi Dennis and all,

Would the pictures be of:

1. 1962 Oldsmobile Starfire
2. 1966 Oldsmobile Starfire
3. 1960 Chevrolet Impala

Would you sign the book, if I also guess correctly the engine in picture 1 is a 394 cuber in the Olds?

Nando.

another try:

1˚ 1963 Oldsmobile Starfire
2˚ 1966 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 (or Super88, Starfire or Ninety Eight)...see note
3˚ 1960 Chevrolet Impala

note: About the second answer, just by looking at the picture, it's next to impossible to say for sure whether if it's a Dynamic, a Super, Starfire or even a Ninety-Eight as they all had the same fron end...:frown:...unless there's a tiny detail overlooked by everyone that could give out the answer...
