A friend at GM ran a “Vehicle Option Content” report, it defines all the RPO codes listed in the glovebox and it is where I obtained the build date of March 13, 1989. #897 came from online research/documents.

Issues: Paint chip on the driver side headlight door, one on the driver door rear edge, one on the rear ground effect, paint worn on the leading edge of the driver side door molding. A mouse ate a small spot of the hood insulation. Small crack on top of driver side pillar, typical. Rear spoiler was restored and painted with car, same issues plague it again, cracking, warping, typical. Small areas of clear peeling on two rims. Tach sporadically will not work for a second. Sometimes it will crank as if the battery is weak, crank again, fine, unable to repeat when needed, probably a bad ground. Recently, I noticed the rear hatch needs to be pushed the rest of the way up. Driver door panel has small separation of cloth and vinyl. Rear seat has very small blemish.Front seats and steering wheel need to be detailed, no rips, tears or spots worn through.
