1K5800062

K = 1989 so I would think those were 89s.

026 and 029 would have been active prototypes. Did they have Active stuff on them?

045 and 062 would have been "Engineering Units" Or production 89s that were not sold.

I have only somewhat confirmed 45 as the Record car, but they did use a new off the shelf engine so #045s orignial had to go somewhere.

Yes, 026 & 029 had remnants of active system
045 was the one that perked my interest after reading your post with 045 in the list. I sold it a couple of years ago and still know where it probably is, if the need should arise. I do have a few photos of the engine.

THe record car at the museum no longer has a vin it has a EX plate so I can't confirm that it is 045 or not and there is a record clone out there. Is the museum car the clone or the real one? I don't know. Hopefully someday it can be confirmed. (I would not break the bank buying back #045 on my circumstantial evidence based on P numbers)

The V12 confimed VIN is #040 it has a P number of P9Y074
The NCM record car has a P number of P9Y079. I guess all I know for sure is NCM was 5 Y engineering cars later. FWIW

If the museum would remove the forward Left hand fender well the rear half they could look for the vin stamp on the frame rail I cant imagine they wouldnt stamp these cars like any other.

Sounds like a 20th Anniversary Bash project to me!!!

I doubt they would do that. I know the 89's have their vin stamped there as 004 and 074 do. The car still belongs to GM they would have to do it. I can't even get them to let me step over the rope to get a close look. Oh well. I was thinking of ordering the Build sheet for #45. Tyler's Queenie has its P8Y087 and EX5014 printed on the build sheet. Theres a good chance 45 will have one too.

I don't know but have heard there is one at the Smithsonian in DC. Morrison should know.

I believe Skankeskinner II Was a 1991.

I spent a lot of time around II at BJ last year. It is an 89 or 88 prototype. Flat Dash and 89/88 interior. Had an EX# the center console had the SPI but the roll bar was in the way. It would only open 2 inches.

I guess it is:
