What makes me wonder is that it's a GTA but it doesn't have the dualcat exhaust. Thought this was a sure thing on the 89s. Also it has a push-lever to get the key out of the lock. Haven't seen it on other 89 models... what gives?

 

whats your vin # ?

 

I already did a vin identification and the result was -89... but that still doesn't explain why I don't have dual-cat and not lock with push-action function and instead with a lever...??? Did they change these things in the beginning of 89 perhaps, meaning that there's a chance my car is technically identical to an 88 although built in 89?

 

Could have been special ordered(optioned) cause it was a export car

 

Dual Cats were a option in 1989.. In 1991-1992 They came standard with the 350. And was a option on the lB9 5 speed.. Im not sure about the Lb9 auto tho

 

Thought it was a sure option on the GTA... hmm. But you're probably right. But what about the lock mechanism?

 

Well Any GTA under 89 (87-88) Didnt come with dual cats. Even my dads 86 Vette didnt have the dual cat option.. 89 -90 i assume was an option for the 350/ lb9 5 speed. 91-92 I belive they came automatically with the 350 (atleast with the Z28s) The 91-92 Lb9 5 speed came with standard as well. Well i dunno im just so damn confused

 

was your car built in 88 by chance?

 

The lock lever seems to be exclusive to the 5 speed cars.
