I have a GXL and i am wondering what is so different about them....why they give them different models. Is it just because of little things? Such as bigger brakes bigger suspension, no sun roof, sun roof, A/C no ac? Whats the dilly?

Thanks
Evan

 

Its all about the option packages. GXLs were the top of the line N/A models with most the options except for the turbo charger. Yes that included sunroof, 4 piston brakes, power windows, limited slip rear, 5 lug wheels, A/C, rear wiper, storage bins, and 5 way adjustable seats.

 

89-90 GXL didnt get it #$%^&

 

ok, bust out a SEARCH for "model gxl" or "models"

 

my gxl doesn't have adjustable seats?

 

Mine does not have the rear window, it doesn't have power windows. but it does have adjustable seats. moon roof, all that other good stuff! AND I ALREADY TRIED THE SEARCH

 

I got an 88 GXL n/a and it's got everything.......power windows,power mirrors, sun roof, rear wiper, a/c, adjustable seats and suspension.

 

yeah...i have an 87

 

My 88 GXL has power windows/locks/moonroof/antenna, big brakes, 5 lugs, rear wiper, leather adjustable seats, theft deterant system, 2+2, a/c, adjustabel suspension. Think thats all.

Now what works? Uhhh...the brakes, and the 5 lugs wheels. Oh ya, I guess the 2+2 works

Now on my TII I got same exact **** except the leather seats and the theft deterant system but everything works.

 

I bought an 86 gxl and now it doesn't have:


ac, ps, 2+2, rear wiper, adjustable suspension, cc, and anything else I could rip out. Guess I should have gotten a GTU or GTUs or even a base

 

>>ac, ps, 2+2, rear wiper, adjustable suspension, cc

Sounds like you did get a GTU/base.. Aren't all GXLs Power Steering?

guess i should consider myself lucky that my 86 gxl has almost everything functional? (minus the power windows, oh, no door handle on the driver side, except what i rigged up ) ... oh, are you supposed to be able to notice a difference when you have your suspension switched to "sport" mode instead of normal?

 

Series 4 GXL was the top of the line n/a. In Series 5 (89-91) the GTU and the GTUs were the top of the line. And in 1991 the coupe was the only n/a option. (like mine!!)

 

Hay Finky,
You ripped out the 2+2 option? If its gray, has everything with it and is in good shape are you interested in selling it? if so contact. wdwflash@aol.com

 

GTU was not top of the line series 5, 89-90 GTU was the base model and GXL was the luxury model. GTUs was top of the line because it was the T2 everything without a turbo.

 

hey zenfox I ripped out the ps. That is why my car is missing it. Sorry wdwflash I threw out 2+2 awhile ago before I knew that the stupid thing was valuable to anyone else. Still have maroon seat belts for it if anyone is interested.
