The 8 in the seventh digit is part of the coupe body style code, "85".

Not sure.

I would like to take you up on a german translation. Can you send me your 
e-mail address so I can send a message to you and save net bandwidth? I 
can't resolve your address with my mail package, MSMail for Windows. If 
anyone has any tips on getting the e-mail address of the sender with this 
package, I would like to hear them.
