The GS has a standard rear end with drum brakes. The GSL has an LSD rear end with disk brakes.

I hope that's the main point of the difference, otherwise the smaller things I haven't a damn clue!

We need a sticky for this like the 2nd gen forum has, so we can get the correct info out there.



Look up.

The '83 LE was based on the GS sunroof model. According to some sites, the sunroof became standard in the GS around 83 or so. As far as I can tell, about the only items not available on the GS, was PW/PL, PS (84 up) and the rear disk/LSD combo.

My old GS had a sun roof, however, it's smaller in size than the one on my GSL.

My 85 GS has an aftermarket sunroof, not oem, and it was not a dealer install either. I finally got the orginal sans-sunroof headliner installed last week. The headliner had never been re-installed after the sunroof was put in. What a pita.
