compliance plate dates are tricky. Look at the 94 Brumbys - made in 92.
These two babies have no difference in the year made section of VIN. I'd guess my 3/87 , well I knew it to be 86 for ordering purposes, may have been made in 85!

Or was it 179 red GLTA's. Curious to know the VINS of other red GLTA
