If you have the VIN, or its last 4 digits, its pretty easy to look up the option codes and engine/gearbox type online, to determine whether its a GT.

If it has a 2.20 rear end then I'm confused. An '89 5-speed should have a 2.64 rear end in a G28.12 box, while an '89GT is a 2.73 in a G28.55 box.

Wheels, steering wheels, shocks, etc, none of that means a thing RE: whether it's a GT or not. Lots of things change on cars over 20 years.

If you can do so, post a pic of the options sticker from the rear hatch area, the tranny, and the engine stamp pad.

Brad, they didn't make Club Sports with an automatic gearbox.

Clubsport engines are also M28/41 same as a 5-speed S4. However they have the additional letters "SP" after the engine designation.

e.g. "M28/42 SP"

What site do you use if you dont mind?

Hilton

If you have the full VIN, you can look it up in PET7 or directly on the lexcom site per this post:

However searching by partial VIN can't be done online that I know of (I have access to a database I can query).

Thx again.

Man now I almost want to fix this car.........

If its a GT, especially an 89, parting should only be considered as a last option.

Checking the motor ID is maybe the best place to start.

In any case its good to know what versions engine and gearbox are. It has big impact on their value.

Ispeed

Above #1100 last 4 of vin are GT's. My friend has one of the last non-GT S4 5 speeds at #1090.

Vilhuer

Thats not absolute truth as IIRR two US model 5sp S4 were made during GT production. First US GT was VIN 1096. In ROW markets both 5sp S4 and GT were done side by side and there are something like 50-100 5sp which were done at same time as 289 ROW '89 GT.
