Reatta Fan Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I've found the body plate for my early 1988 Reatta located behind the the passenger headlight and attached a picture. I've got most of it figured out, however, is anyone knowledgeable to help with decoding the rest of it in the 4th line which is supposedly plant specific data?According to the Vehicle Certification Label, it was built in 01/87.First Line: J 01E 4EC97 B 900081J = Model Year (1988)01E = Build date (January / 5th week)4EC97 = (4)Buick, (EC)Reatta, (97)Coupe 2DR Notchback SportB = Assembly Plant Lansing, MI900081 = Production Serial NumberSecond Line: 55A 81U55A = Gold Accent Stripe81U = Bright Red (8774) Primary ColorThird Line: JL9JL9 = Antilock BrakesFourth Line: 000116 7 00081000116 = No clue7 = No clue 00081 = Not sure, could be the sequence number that the body was builtAny help would be greatly appreciated.(PS: Yes, I've tried looking in the 1988 service manual and it's no help ...)
