Ok I found a complete car for parts.But I want to do a five speed swap and the car I found they dont know what year it is.It has no markings left on the door or under the hood.The front bumper
is missing.So how else can I tell.It is a body shop that has the car.

well if it's a coupe, then it's 88-89.. also check the tail lights..86-87 have the smaller inner tail.. 88-89 have the bigger inner tail. but all u need is the parts.. so it does not matter..

The guy at the shop said he thought it was a 87 because it had 13" rims.I thought my car came with 13"rims but he said the 88-89 came with 14"rims.

If its an 88 or 89 it will have front corner lights that are the same as yours. The 86-87 have the huge yellow thing on the corner lights.

The 88 and 89 LX came with 13" rims. The LX-I and SE-I had 14"

86-87 corner lights:

Thanks for the info.But I think the corner lights are gone.I know most the front is gone the bumper one fenders never looked long enough to notice anything else.Is there any other ways.The whole drive train is there.

get the VIN and run it on car fax.. the free report tells you what kind of car it is
