    What is a gs850L is it glt or glx or glz or gld?

      If it's truly an '82, it would be a GLZ.

      The last letter signifies the year.

      B '77
      C '78
      N '79
      T '80
      X '81
      Z '82
      D '83
      E '84

      I said "if it's truly an '82" because the production plate might say it was made in '82. However, if it was made from about mid-August through December of '82, it was an '83 model.

          Not to derail but I was searching around for a VIN breakdown thread and did not see one. I'm betting this thread is a great place to ask if we have one.
