thanks for the warm welcome guys. ive actually made some good use of the site already. A vin number and the handy dandy vin decoder helped me identify the bird im looking at as an '87 canadian wagon. i needed the vin decoder because the "dealer" with the car has a phone answering disability. its in ruff shape but so am i.
