The GTO is the highest, part # wise, in the SE ranks. Here's the breakdown;
That's what I thought. This means purchases of these stock numbers and higher are safer bets at getting good cars. Seems the S&H and Chevelle are good mixed with bad.

On a sidenote: I picked up the extra-wide tire kit (60-7540) and the Trans-Am (Past & Present,60-7537) kit and highly recommend them both! The FAT rear wheels look great and the kit come with 3 pairs (just enough for my 3 SEs! ). And I was 1 of the first complainers of the less than wonderful cosmetics of the SE, but that black Trans-Am body looks NICE on the SE (especially with the fatty wheels/tires on it)
Yup, I love the wide tires. My only complaint (and this is very minor) is that the hubcaps are flush to the outside. A hubcap could have been made that incorporates the same width to allow for mounting the wider tires without the spacer giving them a deep well look like real wide rims. But, then you can't use the spacers in conjunction with any hubcap style. So, it's an even trade off. Still, they do look really nice on my muscle cars.
And, I really like the "Bandit" black TransAm body. Very nicely detailed. Now if they just had a tiny HO scale figure of Sally Field at the age she was in the movie to go with the body kit. Yum! There's just somethin about spinners, Ya'know.
