Chevrolet Corsica — L-body (1987–1996)

The Heritage kits for 1988–1996 show the Corsica as a 4-door notchback sedan (1LT69), joined in 1989–1991 by a 4-door hatchback (1LT68) and the LTZ sedan (1LZ69, with Z54 on the 1990 series page and the 1991 power teams page); the LT package (Z11) appears in 1988–1989, the 1992–1993 power teams pages list the LT sedan alone, and from 1994 the sedan is model 1LD69 (the 1995–1996 power teams pages call it the LS). Engines were the 2.0L LL8 and 2.8L LB6 (1988–1989), the 2.2L LM3 (1990–1991), the 3.1L LH0 (1990–1993), the 2.2L LN2 (1992–1996) and the 3.1L L82 (1994–1996). Rows come from the kits' MVMA/AAMA specification pages (engine, series, power teams, curb-mass, convenience and optional-equipment weight pages), from the order guides bound into the 1989, 1990 and 1994–1996 kits, and from the 1989 brochure pages (pp.5, 8; the options chart p.6 read only); the 1990 option-weight pages repeat the 1989 pages (the LL8 and LB6 remarks, the Z11 entry), so a 1990 claim rests on them only where the 1990 order guide also offers the item; the 1993 option-weight page p.38 is headed model year 1992 and establishes no year. There is no 1987 kit, so no code is claimed for 1987, although NICB's 1987 VIN manual lists the Corsica sedan; paint and trim codes are listed for 1995–1996 only, because the 1989, 1990 and 1994 order guides give two-digit color numbers and four-character trim combinations rather than RPO codes.
