OK this is our new addition to the family, at first glance it looks to be a GL but it's not, after looking up the door code it seems to be an optioned L or maybe they were added on, anyway if you pushed the car back to the garage door and under the tree, that is where it's been for one or two years and the tires were up. No rust on the passenger side and only a small spot 2" x2" on the drivers side fender well, i drained the tank, add 5 gallons of fresh fuel, replaced the fuesable links with the new stile fuses, hit the key and cycled the key a couple times to bring the fuel up, checked the oil level, hit the key again and it started, i'm glad i had given the guy the money, he was in dis-belief, i have learned from you guys not to over analyze things, look at the easy things first. Hey skim more pic's to come, did you notice the package tray, it's in good shape.

Looks like a GL with an older grille to me. I haven't heard of any L pluses coming with painted bumper covers.

I not sure what to think, i know what the vin says but then again Fresh knows his cars, it does have the same Black door paint as the L+, so i'll get it home tomorrow so we will get to the bottom of this mystery, as i said the man knows his cars, so it's up to me to figure if i goffed up wrighting down the vin numbers.An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.

^ You're putting the pressure on me, just a guess from what I've seen. Havent seen the interior and the lack of a tach makes me question myself, don't understand the painted bumpers and grill either. If Its a 1990 Im sticking with the L Plus.sigpic
