I'm glad my dads friend saved this stuff from the trash years ago.
870204 had:
Rear end failure on 7-11-83 with 40852 miles
Transmission failure on 1-20-83 with 23327 miles
Transmission failure on 2-18-83 with 26233 miles
Engine failure on 8-16-83 with 44448 miles
Engine failure on 12-27-83 with 67683 miles.
Interesting that you have the earliest unit # out of all the know 82's I believe (doesn't mean that your car was the 4th unit equipped and put on the road though, it was all random). The 82 unit #s started at 870201 and ended at 870600.
Also interesting that about 3k miles were put on in about 1 month, and that the officer(s) that drove your car were hard on it. 2 Trans. in a month, 2 engines in a year
Now if you can just get the assignment card...
