I'm not sure what you mean by your Accessory Sheet? The one that came with the car I bought in the 80's listed Contempo Conversion. For my current car, the invoice lists a "ship to address" of Contempo Campers Inc, 5232 Todd Ave SW, Warren, Ohio 44485. That should be on the bottom of your invoice. You can order copies of that from gmmediaarchive.

Accessory sticker in my '88 is on the inside of the center console and on the Contempo it's on the center console lid.

Not sure if anything would be on there as to where it may be shipped. Can you put a pic on the chat? To the best of my knowledge, no 88 Contempos were made.

I'll check my accessory label to see what it may include.

Re: Contempo Firebird? WTF?

Also, I hear three stories. One is there was 50 Contempos made each year of 1984-1986. Another is there was 50 Contempos made overall. And another says there was 12 contempos made. All of them say only 4 GTs where made however. Do you know which one is true? And was there ever a GT to your knowledge without the front spoler? Ive taken a close look at mine and it doesnt appear that she ever had one on her. But the rear wingis original. So im confused. Lol. Any help would be awesome.

Do you have any interior picks? I'm trying to restore my contempo to stock but it appears to have firebird or some other type of door panel I've never seen nor does anyone have...so I'd like to compare it to yours if that's cool.
