I used to have an ’83 GTV-6 with all of the ‘84’s features from the factory. Some would say that it was a late ’83, but the build month was 3-83. Sometime around ’84 the ignition changed from a larger (unreliable, from what I’ve been told) box near the coil, to a smaller unit in the same place. Again, my GTV-6 had this smaller unit. I only noticed this once on one of the GTV-6’s that I’ve looked at, so I’m not an expert on this.

There is different gearing on the cars, I’m not sure if there was any rhyme or reason to what gears went into what cars during what years. I’ve test-drove other GTV-6’s and found that the speed in gears/rpm was different than what I was used to. Could be the tach/speedo error, but I also noticed a different sound with the engine.
