The Numbers Game with the (SPI) Trunk ID Label - Kirban

New Buick Turbo Trivia contest:

No past winners or Buick Turbo employees can participate.

Prize value $50

I have a 700 mile original GN sitting in my garage to verify everything.

Earlier in this thread, we asked to give us a count and name the various filters/screens etc you would find under the hood of a original 1986-1987 Turbo Regal.

This question is similar in nature.

Only this time I want you to list every paper like decal/sticker that can be found on an original 1987 Turbo Regal brand new (not a GNX) that is found under the hood.

Nothing on the suspension counts.

No paper stickers on any WIRE looms counts. Example, the two wire looms on the drivers side inner fender.

We will not count the battery since I can't recall how many seperate labels are on the original white sided battery.

Do not count any label that is related to an option, only what would appear on every 1987 Turbo Regal when it left the factory. Example: If a paper decal existed on the cruise bracket it would not count.

I don't need the exact technical name, however, your wording and location has to leave no room for error.

I will post 2 of the answers here to start the contest:

1-coil module date sticker

2-coil module turbo decal

Your entry must include the 1 and 2 that I have listed above and then go 3, 4 etc and so on with your guess along side it.

The first person that can nail down 14 others that match my 14 wins.

This means you need to find 14 others that appear under the hood of an original 1987 Turbo Regal (not a GNX), and not a decal or sticker associated with an option since that would not appear on every example.

This is a paper-like decal that you could remove.

the clock is ticking.....

If your list involves any wrong ones I will simply state the number you have wrong. By that I mean if you have a total of 3 incorrect I will state that. I will not pinpoint which ones are wrong, as that would tip off another player.

denniskirban@yahoo.com

Takes me time to think these up making sure the answers are not found on the internet. If you have a suggestion for a trivia question send me a pm....I don't mind giving someone credit! Less work for me.

Upon further research their is actually 15 more possible not 14 as stated above. So we will give prizes t whoever hits the 14 we are looking for and whoever can find 15. This is in addition to the 2 we already listed.

The clock is ticking....any luck this contest may last me through next week.

good news & bad news

the good news is you scored quite well.

the bad news is this contest was for non previous winners only....

so, what would you think is fair?

There is one on the wastegate....there is also 2 others.....not mentioned in your list.

I am trying to get other winners so it is not the same ones....

I usually do a different one for past winners eg the horse drawn carriage one.

This contest has ended.....

Will work on a new one.....

sorry

whats the 2 i missed?

 

[Dennis Kirban]

I looked at the code, it looked like HO3B, or something like that

kirban 2 cents worth

To break down the Fisher Body plate based on the H03B code.

H stands for the year 1987, 03 is the month built meaning March, B stands for the week meaning the second week of March 1987. This makes more sense than the very late date you gave before from the door that you claim could possibly be wrong since it was hard to read.

Again this is based on my notes on the break down that I had in my file system.

Like I said a car fax may offer up a date a month or two later, any broadcast sheet from in the seat cushion or door panel would offer more insight.

As stated earlier we do have a winner on the vehicle trivia contest, finally, 1sloGN above send me pm wit your full address. You will get one of the last 12 of the 100 Anniversary GM books published last year. Very informative book covers a lot of old info etc on GM....hope you see this post before Monday as after that I can't ship it until I return from GS Nats.

I almost missed your answer because you put it at the end of another guess.

The correct answer is a horse dawn carriage.....

Now I know what everyone is wondering what tie in is that with our Buicks? Believe it or not there is a link. I won't make it a trivia question as no one would be able to figure it out. However, I can pose another trivia question off the answer to this one that I was not aware of.

Congrads go to 1slgn.....him like several others really kept at it...more history lessons to come.

New trivia contest

NO previous winners eligible nor Buick employees.

Its the mid 1990s....you are the original owner of a 1987 Turbo Regal.

What 3 paper decal stickers could possibly be on your car at this point that was not present when your car was new.? Exclude the battery.

This question is tricky. Note how I worded it.

Prize value $50

If you are reading this thread feel free to share with us your trunk ID label or any question you may have about that subject or option related etc. Chances are fairly good I can answer it...correctly.
