How rare are rear disks on a 83 Z28?

Was this an option or standard? My car has the base interior with the power group + tilt/cruise and T-tops.

Thanks,
Brandon

The J65 code was not listed on my RPO plate. Is it part of another package like Z28? Or was it a seperate option?

4 wheel disc brakes were an option starting with the 82 model. They were available with ANY V8 car. Pace Cars with the option are very rare.
