LE, SE, SSE

ok so the SSE was the sporty model with extra body cladding and floor shifter?

Yup yup. And some SE'* had the floor shifter too.

Yes but upper intake will be less of an issue and you can control and possibly prevent failure in the future. Its possible that 2000+ is a valid option but the L67 of that vintage is too spendy

Just looking at all the options.

buy a used series 2 L67, pay the extra bling for a warrenty too. best bang for the buck, in my opinion

They made colum shift Bonnevilles? ACK! *passes out*

get a '88 SSE, they are the best looking IMO

My 89 was column shift

So is mine. Having column shifts leaves lots of room on the floor for a nice custom console. And even though mine is just a lowly LE model I still managed steering wheel controls and the auto climate control. :P

Oh the humanity! I've lost all respect for the early base model bonnies

Must say I'm partial to 89 as well! And mine was column shifted, and it ROCKED!!!

Oh I do miss her...
