You're close. Skip shift went from 1st to 4th if your throttle position was under something like 30%. Under hard throttle you could use all the gears but not light throttle.
That's 1/2 the answer. What was the other difference?

Was the manufacturer different?

Sorry, no, I am looking for a model that was made in 1990. It was only made part of the model year. There is a particular reason it was part year only.

You guys are too good. I was hoping you'd say 62. Apparently there were aluminum 62 cars but they didn't have the Z11 option.
Oh, and for the record, in about 1985 I bought what I thought was a big block aluminum intake at a swap meet in Illinois. Got it home, didn't fit. Ordered a 409 intake gasket thinking it must be 409. Didn't fit. Guess what I bought???? A mystery motor intake, of all things!!! With help from a Mystery motor expert in Michigan, we identified it. Fortunately it still had the casting number on it. I learned from that. The casting number on the mystery parts start with a zero.
Sold the intake to a friend in Nebraska on the promise he didn't resell it just to make a buck, or I would have done that. He wanted it for a conversation piece. He's a 409 guy. It's sitting on his shelf. Not too many people can claim to have a mystery motor intake in stock!
