Re: what year is it? 240-260 1979

ICQ>



an "L" in the middle of your vin indicates model year 1978

an "M" indicates 1979 and an "A" is for 1980

it's not unusual for date stamps to be as much as nine months

off, since pieces may be build ahead of time and production for

1979 model year may have started in October of 1978

hope this helps

JV
