    Default 83 GT Door Tag

    I was wondering if someone could decode my tag and how do I tell if this was an original TRX car?

    Please post pic of the buck tag. How many miles are on the odometer? Does this GT have any of the following options?

    • air conditioner
    • cruise control
    • engine block immersion heater
    • electric rear window defroster
    • front license plate bracket
    • high altitude emissions system
    • interval windshield wipers (twist knob on end of wiper control level)
    • leather-wrapped steering wheel
    • light group (light under hood, light in glove box, buzzer when lights on/key NOT in ignition/driver door open)
    • lower bodyside protection
    • power door locks
    • power side windows
    • premium sound system ("AMP PULL" knob to left of radio, "Premium Sound System" emblem on dash bezel below HVAC controls, amplifier beneath center of dash pad)
    • tilt steering wheel
    • tinted glass - complete (tinted windshield, slight tint to side and rear glass)
    • tinted windshield (only)

    I cannot locate the Buck tag. I checked the core support, but couldn't find one. Am I looking in the correct spot?

    Odometer says 32519

    Dealer AC
    No cruise
    No block heater as far as I can tell
    Yes Rear Defroster
    Yes front license plate bracket
    High altitude emmisions?? How do I tell?
    No interval wipers
    Yes leather wrapped wheel
    Light group? There is a map light, but no buzzer
    No lower side protection
    No power locks or Windows
    Yes premium sound
    No tilt steering
    Top of windshield is tinted

    Thank you

    Your car was built at Dearborn so look for the buck tag on the top-front of the core support between the hood latch and the driver-side headlamps. There are two small brackets next to each other in that location and the buck tag can be behind those brackets so it may be hard to find. The small bracket on the left is for the power steering line cooler (bracket holding a looped metal line) and the small bracket on the right is for the head panel ("L" shaped bracket attaching the fiberglass panel to the core support).

    Marti Auto Works can sell you a report that tells you how this car was originally equipped from the factory but I cannot tell you if it had TRX wheels and tires by the codes on the door or buck tag. There are codes on the original broadcast/build sheet that indicate that option.
