Ive Been doing some research on all this and I cannot find the Bobcat body styles which are different then the pinto.Well since I couldn't find them I figured I would see if any of you other Bobcat owners would help to fix this list to include them. I know the 3 door hatch # since this is the body style of my Bobcat.

?-Bobcat 2-Door Sedan
20-Bobcat 3-Door Hatchback
?-Bobcat Wagon

If you have either of those 2 model Bobcats the numbers could be helpful to new owners of these awesome cars.

Well i did some more research it seems.
20-Bobcat 3-Door Hatchback-USA, Canada
22-Bobcat Wagon-USA, Canada
23-Bobcat 2-Door Sedan-USA, Canada
24-Bobcat 3-Door Hatchback-Canada Only
25-Bobcat Wagon-Canada Only

I have no way to check all these for sure other then the 20. But hopfully some people with the other kinds of Bobcats can take a look at their Vin and see if this info is correct.
