geerrr new car and cant find rpo codes (where......)!!!!!
Sorry i know this is probly repetitive but i just bought a 82 firebird and its been crazy changed and its buggin me alot and cant find the rpo codes...
i know they are supposed to be either under the console lid or in the locked compartment in the back and still not a sign of a sticker being there!!!!!
I heard the build sheet is under the seat maybe and has the rpo codes on it what seat and "EXACTLY" where are they.
Thanks for your help i need to decode this rig its supposed to have a 2.8 (cause of the vin) and its got a sbc and it is black now with grey int. but i "think" it orig. was a red ext.
see what i mean,, im going nuts.....
thanks if you can help.

On a 82 all there is (unless you can find the build sheet) is the tag attached to the radiator core support. 84-90 the rpo sheet was in the center console and 91-92 they were in the rear lockbox.
Don't know if 82 is too far back, but I was picking up some junk parts from 97 mistery camaro, they had no idea what they were selling, but had the VIN. I called the dealer and they told me they had a complete set of RPO codes they could print out. Then they guy just looked over the phone for what I was interested in.

In my 82 (camaro) My build sheet was just taped under my rear drivers side seat. I believe someone with a pace car found there build sheet, what was left of it, taped to the top of their gas tank.
From what i hear it can be anywhere. or no where. goodluck

Those restoration packages dont tell you specific details of your car, but what was offered for your year, and i believe they were printed prerelease so even some of the thjings in them are a little off.
Its nifty to have though.
