What makes a 40th edition special?

[04lss]

I have a 2002 GTP.

the vin keeps coming up as a 40th edition, it doesn't look like there are any special badges. What makes the 40th car different from the standard?

hood louvers, different wheels, 40th anniversary badging, a special edition spoiler, roof rails.

Nothing really.

Paint color, trim package, interior package and thats it.

Nothing engine/trans/suspension is any different.

The 40th's only came in the Dark Cherry Metallic "purple" ish color.

Available in coupe or sedan, GT or GTP in either form.

-DCM paint
-16 or whatever spoke chrome wheels
-Roof rails
-hood louvers like on the 01 Special Editions and 00 Daytonas
-Different spoiler that was also on the 2001 Special Edition and 2000 Daytonas
-Dual/dual exhaust tips
-Unique 40th anniversary badging
-Front/rear bumpers were all body color, no gray trim like plain GT/GTP's
-dark cherry accents on interior..seats, steering wheel, shift knob, dash trim
-floor mats embroidered with the same exterior badge

They all looked like this

If you have a VIN on the dash that pops up as a 40th but the car has none of the equipment, somebody has "rebuilt" a totalled car and used a "clean" title from a junked 40th car. Things get wierd like that with dealers and rebuilders and laws may vary.

interesting, its my POS side car project so I don't really care I was just curious

Yep I'd just carry on with it.

definitely NOT a 40th ed
I don't trust the insurance company vins any way, they said my monte carlo was a sedan
