AF9 should be AR9

22D is the interior color... not really sure I want to say Blue? and I suspect the Deluxe Cloth interior.
11L & 11U are Exterior colors The W indicates Waterbase or Waterborn Paint. I do not have the info in frot of me but I think 11 is White...

John your correct the code 11 is white and water base (Van Nuys build). Also the 22D is dark royal blue custom cloth interior with L/S seats. That has me puzzled about the seat code as it would AQ9 then wouldn't it? And the CG1 should be CC1 if she is a factory T-Top car.

D = 1983
04A = BUILD DATE April (04), First Week (A)
1 = Chevrolet
F = "F-Body"
P = Camaro
87 = 2 Door Coupe
L = Van Nuys CA - Plant of Manufacture
1 = Chevrolet
32927 = Build Sequence
22D = (22) Blue Interior (D) "Deluxe Seats"
11L = (11) White (L) Lower
11U = (11) White (U) Upper
W = Waterbase Paint
AR9 = Bucket Reclining Back
AQ9 = AR9 P/Seat & high Performance Bucket D/Seat
CG1 = Fleet Incentive, Consumer Products (-Trk CKGST)
CC1 = T-tops (More likely)
Not sure what the last line is, I have seen it before but I forget and I cannot find it in my books... Someone here knows...

No Prob

Dford and I have exchanged a couple PM's on the trim tag on his '83. The last line (D B S 319481 ) are plant codes for the interior trim color/type/material. I believe Wildjeff may have done research on these codes. What little I can find is: D - Trim level,deluxe

My '83 has D S 161609 just for example.

Speaking of the seats are they solid dark blue or are they multi-color with CAMARO on them (and repeated on the door panels)? This is what they should be and what 22D indicates in the '82-'87 Camaro Parts catalog for '83.

I believe the last line decodes as:

D - Rear spoiler
B - Luggage compartment trim
W - Rear Wiper
N - Locking fuel door
S - Radio accommodation package

This is based on my personal observation so take it for what it’s worth, nothing. I have never seen any definitive source (GM) on what they mean. I’m always looking for additional data.

and the 319481 is the schedule date. Note that its for GM internal use so it not a normal Julian date.

coolram62

Thank you Wildjeff as I had hopes you would come on to see this thread. I was way off base on the "D" (should have used the search where this was discussed before) but that's the impression the parts catalog gave me as to it's meaning.

But what's weird is my '83 has the deluxe carpeted luggage compartment trim ,with the locking cover, but doesn't have the "B" on the trim tag. With GM they changed coding so often it's hard to keep track of.

coolram62 - That’s not weird, I might be wrong. That why the disclaimer B is one of the options I’m having trouble with. I’ll PM you, I have some questions and don’t want to highjack this thread.

okfoz

WJ,
My 83 T/A has D & S, and it does have a Spoiler, The Radio I suspect was original as it was definately Circa 1983... It had the AM/FM Cassette...

Do you know how to decode the Schedule Date?

John

wildjeff

John - I don’t know how to decode the schedule date, I suspect its some sort of tracking code GM used internally that has no direct correlation to the Julian date the car was produced.

Most of the T/A and Z28s I have seen have only D and S, unless they where loaded.

Hi Guys.
Thank you so much.

I double checked and the seat code is definately AF9. Could someone help w/ that one? I accept the CC1 but the second letter sure could be taken to be a 'G'...... at least in the dark!

Everything else checks.

Now, is there anyone who can tell me if this car has a fuel filter? One more... Where do I get a center cap for one of the wheels?

Thank you for all your time.

Dford the factory location for the CFI fuel filter is behind the alternator. I changed the routing of the lines on mine and now have the filter mounted on the frame rail next to the overflow tank. The fuel filter part numbers are WIX P/N 33478 and the Fram P/N G3694. You can also use the filter for a '84 CFI Corvette if you have to - I don't have the P/N at the moment.

Scottmoyer , Wildjeff or Okfoz will have to tackle the seat question as I'm at a loss to explain it.
