Do you have a WS6 car?

It's the conversion number, when they take a standard T/A & do the WS6 parts to it.
In basic terms, ...

Yes, it's a 2002 CE. So is the ASC# the vehicle sequence that which it became a WS6? I did check out that link BTW, I thought that it was for WS6 T/As only? I have a query out to find the ASC#, if there is a link or list I will check it out. Thanks, Les.

I've got your PM but I'm waiting on the list I have out now to come back.

Each 98-02 WS6 (including the 30th and 35th anniversary cars) has a build number. For example ASC converted 2390 CETA's and each one of those cars has a CE specific build number, like my CE is the 2074th built and is the 729 six speed built.

See the thread in the Special Edition Vehicles section for updates on the ASC # requests

Thanks man, you did say it takes some time, thought I would ask a general question instead of bugging you! So who or what is ASC? An option number, a division of GM or separate company who took care of the WS6 process? Just trying to understand the logistics involved
