Weird vin check

I did the free vin check for a 1986 rx7 on ebay and it said this
Free VIN decode
VIN: JM1FC3310G0128689
Year: 1986
Make: Mazda
Model: RX7 Base Model/GXL
Style/Body: Coupe 2 Door
Engine: 4BBL 1.1L R
Country of Assembly: Japan

What is a 4BBL 1.1L and is this a base model or gxl?

Do you really think eBay is the absolute authority on VIN decoding?

Wow, what did they do to those tail lights? They look like ***. Whats with the "cone" filter? Looks like he took it literally and used a small road cone for the filter..

Isn't there some VIN decoding section in the FAQ?

thats why I made a point of stating "when it was built"

5 spd swaps are very common.
