I know it sounds like a basket case of a car.... but for 500 dollars it think it was a good investment or at least i hope it is

Well presuming the hatch area is still somewhat intact, the glove compartment back there should have the RPO codes inside.

If the car is an 87 or 88, the RPO codes should be in the center glove box. If thats been removed also, then go the dealer with your VIN and see if they can get you a list of your RPO codes.
