[s-cars] Looking for 92 spec build date and features info

[David Forgie]

Thanks Cody.  Our posts/emails obviously crossed in the ether.  As I stated in my reply, what Kate
 says about the VIN breakpoint for the "tuna can" is not correct. 

As for the strut bar as "connecting pipe", I had the secret hiding place (805-00) pointed out to me
 back in 2008 when I made this post:

Thanks for digging through the Family Album again though.  Bet you were going cross-eyed.
Always good to reconfirm data.
