The number is a VIN and indicates the lid is from the 80's. You could use the VIN decoder to determine the exact year. Not sure, but probably is compatible. The problem may be that all these panels were hand fitted and filed so you may need to modify a bit to get it right. I put a new lid on my '87, it came from an '88 and to get it right I would need to file the hinge bolt holes on one side. Wouldn't gap right otherwise.
Others with more knowledge should chime in. Good luck. |
