According to my Pierce, that # (minus the "T" prefix) was mfr'd in 1985, but I don't think it's anywhere near that old. Customer bought it new and SHE's not old enough to have bought it new in 1985!! <BR><BR>Do I need to break down and buy the new Pierce, or is this info available somewhere like the Samick spread sheet some good person posted here a couple months ago...<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Paul Bruesch<BR>Stillwater, MN <BR></DIV><BR></DIV></DIV></DIV> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: garamond, new york, times, serif"><BR></DIV></DIV><BR> <HR SIZE=1> Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?<BR>Check out <A href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=48245/*http://autos.yahoo.com/new_cars.html;_ylc=X3oDMTE1YW1jcXJ2BF9TAzk3MTA3MDc2BHNlYwNtYWlsdGFncwRzbGsDbmV3LWNhcnM-" target=_blank rel=nofollow>new cars at Yahoo!
