97 se supercharged

[jarvisx2000]

I am going to go look at one sometime this weekend hopefully and I was wondering how many se's came with an l67?

[92BonneSE]

None. SE's rarely came with superchargers except in 92-95 and they were very rare.

[jarvisx2000]

I am pretty sure your wrong. I think at least 96/97 you could get an l67 SE.

Get the VIN and you will know before you even go look. The 8th digit: K = N/A, 1 = SC

[jarvisx2000]

Well I know it is. I have seen pictures of under the hood. I was just wondering if they were rare?

[myfirstbonnie]

Probably a swap. Ask the seller for the VIN.

[jarvisx2000]

I will email for vin right now but here is the first part of the ad

'97 Bonneville SE with an L67 supercharged 3.8 from the factory (documented original engine) and a new (less than 10,000 km.) 4T65E Heavy Duty tranny. New brake lines 2 yrs. ago and car has good rubber.

Hmm..I did look in tech info and found this, so I may be wrong.

For 1996
approximately 8000 of the SE's produced had the SLE option group, of those, only 367 came with the L67. The L67 could not be had in an SE without the SLE option--this holds true for the 1995-1997 years.

SC'd SLE's are a very real option, anyone heard of willwren?

Just another reason not to post unless you are 100% sure of the facts.

[myfirstbonnie]

He is referring to a 97 SE being supercharged.

If its a 97 SE with an L67 its an SLE option equipped car, it was the only way you could get the L67 with the 1G2HX vin designation

[jarvisx2000]

So in 97 SLE was options and not a trim level?

[Jrs3800]

Correct... 1993 - 99 SE Bonneville could be optioned up with an SLE package... 97 - 99 could be ordered with the Body kit like the SSE...

00+ had its own Vin designation

[jarvisx2000]

Okay cool info, so were there a lot of SE's optioned with an L67?

[repinS]

They're not going to be common, no matter how you slice it. I've see one rolling around Hamilton, the only way I could tell was the dual outlet exhaust with tips that looked like the SE style - a telltale sign that it's an L67 SE/SLE.

Is this the one in Willowdale?

[jarvisx2000]

Yeah it is, here is a link for anyone interested.

Cool stuff!

[willwren]

Looks like a fairly 'basic' equipped SE with the L67 and SLE package. Not 'rare'. Uncommon? Yes.

[wjcollier07]

Wow...FE1 and L67...now that's interestingly uncommon.

Correct... 1993 - 99 SE Bonneville could be optioned up with an SLE package... 97 - 99 could be ordered with the Body kit like the SSE...

00+ had its own Vin designation

Psst Don...only 98 & 99 had the SSE body for the SLE's with the door badges. This is why 96 & 97 are the only SSE's that still came with the SSE imprint in the front bumper before they generalized the package in 98.

And as far as engine availability goes...I know I added it into wiki a while ago....only available in the noted years for those trim levels.
