    Hey gang,

    Quick question I can't seem to find the answers too. 1989 328 GTS has a mismatched steering column VIN tag when compared to the riveted VIN tag in the door. Also, that steering colum tag shows "Air Bag" But I didn't think there was an airbag on this year?

    Any idea for the discrepancy? Maybe I'm just not clear on those tags, but I thought they should match. I was pretty sure they did in my old 86.

    Cheers
    Dave

    As a side note, the VIN sequence in the door tag falls in line with the production sequence of 328s. The one on the column, not so much by a huge margin.

    Update: think I just figured it out deciphering the VIN. It appears the column tag is a F355 GTS based on the XR versus XA, and 42 versus 20 on the models when deciphering the VIN. Now to figure out why!

    Cheers

    Just make sure they actually own the Ferraris if you are buying one
