    I'm thinking along the lines of what Bill said.

    Here's a scenario. Not a real car in the example.

    Let's say that a car listed was available for only 2 years, 1995 and 1996. Same engine specs, same transmission ratios, same brakes. The spec line doesn't say anything about body types, it just lists this model and the years, '95-'96. The '95 was available only in a 4-door. In '96, a 2-door was introduced, but all '96 cars of either body style had a lousy emissions-choking intake manifold that didsn't work nearly as well as the '95.

    If you have a '96 2-door, can you use the intake manifold from a '95? 2-doors were never available with that intake manifold. I think it's clear that if you have a '96 4-door, you can use either manifold.

    And you would be right IMHO. Happens all the time.
