Default option code 046

Once again, I have another '89 GT with one of the option codes being 046. Of course, it also has option 639 (GT), but I'm almost sure that 046 stands for GT as well. Now, I've only seen 046 on my '89 GT cars along with the 639 code as well, naturally.

I think that somehow, with '89's being the earliest of the GT's, that 046 was put down as the first indication of it being a GT, followed later by the addition of option code 639. It's the only thing that makes any sense to me in regards to that option number.

I guess that would beg the question, does anyone have option code 046 on a non-89 GT car? If not, I think it's been solved! And then, thereagain....................

Todd Johnson

P.S. Yes, I've asked this before, but was never given an answer. Thank you to whoever grouped them so close together instead of just deleting one of them.....................

Since Todd is no longer around to discuss this, I'd thought I'd revive this post to see if anyone else has seen code 04601 before. Car is an 89 5 spd.

I see mention of 046 often but never a 04601. naturally couldn't find it on Cantonia's, Kindel's, 928GT's, or Vilhuers list.

I have 046 on my 1989 GT as well.

PS - Why did Todd get banned? I barely know the guy - I spoke to him once about a car he was hawking. What happened?

No such option code of 046 found on the 928 Registry.

Thanks kindly Rixter.

Maybe those with both 89 5spds and GT's can check their option stickers for an impromptu survey on 046 vs 04601 codes. Spread the word.

Does that mean the signals or the car are ROW?

best I can gather is they were originally equipped with euro signals and swapped out prior to US shipment
