I've owned a FWD 94 L, it did not have ABS

I've owned 2 95 L's that were both AWD and both had ABS

I've never owned a LS

But Every AWD I've ever seen had ABS too


and no FWD I've seen had ABS

Mike, I will definitely disagree with you there. I have seen many L AWD cars.

Again, the "K" in the vin indicates that this car in question is definitely front wheel drive.

All Wheel Drive was offered as an option only on 95 "L" models. 94 L, LE and LS cars were ALL front wheel drive.

Its an early 1994 model similar to the L, front wheel drive but with only one airbag, automatic seatbelts, and a build date of late 1993 (usually). I have only seen LE cars in Barcelona Red but I am sure they may have come in other colors as well.

Ooh thats what those ones are. Ive seen some pics of those ones.

If you get a new dash out of a later model, like for your Claret... can you hook up the passenger air bag and have it function correctly? Just wondering...
