Icon2 Weird question about Si and non Si hatches?

I just bought a 1991 honda civic today the guy told me it was an Si but the vin says it is ed6 not ed7 but the car has a multi point fuel injection system on it and has a sunroof.

So I was wondering because I can not find this any where did non Si hatches have an option for a sunroof? From what I have found only Si have sunroofs and it was not available for non Si. So is the vin and title wrong, or is it not an Si, or is it?

If any one has any info on this let me know thank you.

that is strange. the ed6 is the std model and it doesn't come with squat. no sunroof, no rear wiper, no intermittent wipers, 4spd instead of 5spd trans, no clock, and its dpfi. sooo i'm not sure how to explain your car lol. so i guess check and see if you have all these things. also, do you have an si interior?

it was converted to a si.. i had a friend who had a 88 hatch and a wrecked si. he took of the roof from the si and tack welded it in place of the orignal 88 roof and had a sunroof now..take of roof liner and panels to see if this is what happened in your case.

Dash swap is most likely event. Compare the dash/title vins to the firewall Vin. Firewall vins are the only ones I trust.
