Hi i purchased this recently. Wandering wat the exact model is.
Its an 86 v6. Is ot a GT?
Want to make sure she gets the correct signage. But came with little info.
It does have the rear spoiler
Cheers.

The 1986 SE adopted the styling of the '85 GT, because the '86 GT came with the "Flying buttress" rear styling... So that is an '86 SE- the give-away is the black lower ground-effects....The '85 GT had SILVER ground-effects....

I don't know if that's a reliable method of determining the model of an almost 40 year old car. Maybe if it was in original mint condition, but...

Anything could have been done to that car in its lifetime. It could be an 84 base coupe with a body panel change. To know precisely what you have, enter your VIN number into this link:

Fierofool your decoder basicly said my car doesn't exist.
this pic I downloaded is right from GM and shows all the options and build codes for my GT

Like I said; anything could have been done to the car. It might really be a Yugo.
I don't know why it didn't work for you. Check for typos in your VIN entry.
