GM did not keep records of how many cars were built with X, Y, and Z options. The only option is to use Compnine, a 3rd party with a database of many VINs and their RPOs but does not have all records so that skews the data, to give a ballpark.

Send me the VIN via PM and I'll take a look.

Dealer advertising should be removed the moment you bring a new car home. If the previous owner didn't have enough sense to remove it, get out the hair dryer and get rid of that junk right now.

Good enough answer for me lol I just didn't know with the car being so rare with pretty much every option if it would add to the back story I'll remove it and save.

The sticker will come off, but be prepared for the paint under it to be darker...
Oh, and nice IROC

Nice find. Would be a complete optioned out iroc if it came with the factory cd player. Still a nice loaded out one for sure though.

Lol thanks, the only firebird I would own is a 92 firehawk 😁
Previous owner broke it somehow, I'm going to try and carefully repair it or some how source another one..

Re: 32,000 mile 1990 5.7 irocz hardtop

There was quite a bit of annoying stuff like that broken on my 87 when I got it in 1995 with 26K. Brittle plastics. You don't see that kind of stuff broken on today's cars with low miles unless the owners were real savages. I've bought so many little trim pieces from the junkyard over the years. They're always like "Big spender huh?" as they ring me up for 3 bucks of various plastic parts.

I agree I found a 92 In the yard with lt brown interior but the seatbelt guides don't match my car because they're too sun faded, just have to keep looking.

Did you try contacting hawks to see if they have one?
