Well new update on my 88 GSP. I spoke with the retired Fleet Manager for the GSP today. I mentioned my 88 and how I didn't know the unit # and how I'd found this 8893 written on the key and how I assumed it was my unit #... Well we all know about assuming:-) lol Well that was not a common practice for the GSP.nor did the high # of 8893 sound right to him either. He told me he personally wrote the #'s on the 88's and that it should still be there. So after arriving home I looked again... There was three stickers on core support. After looking a bit closer two were taped up and one R34 replacement decal was put on after front of core support had been resprayed. Well I peeled it of and what do I see but my elusive real unit #! 8301... I felt a little silly but releaved all at the same time. I'd always questioned my unit # being that high. 8893 would mean 893rd car bought in 88. Well now I know for certain it's there in plain site :-) but at least I don't have that nagin feeling of doubt in the back of my brain now lol... Now where did the 8893 engraving come from and what did it mean? Jones county maybe?
