Cleaned up nice. That's an '86 Sport Coupe. It could have been built and sold in 1985, the MY started in Aug or Sept.

Looks like they combined the two in one category.

Some do this to access the fuel pump easier. Without having to drop out the whole rear of the car

How do you get it out though? My GTA was a victim of this LOL. I dropped the axle when i changed mine, don't understand how you would get it out through a hole like that though.

If you look at the listing above, it says Sport Coupe/Berlinetta M5/A4 in the V6 column. It references either one. According to this, the Berlinetta is on it's own line because it was only available in an Auto with the V8 .

Look at the VIN. The production number is what gives the car it's individual VIN. I don't remember the particulars well enough to explain it, but It has to do with the last so many digits of the VIN.

I think that would make it 25,813, but I'm not 100% sure.

Eventually that rubber hose will fail and blow fuel all over the exhaust, if gm wanted rubber hoses it would have came that way. Thats why it has hard lines and pressure fittings. Thats why dropping the axle to fix it pays off in the end.
