That's awesome. I got the invoice for my car thru GM, it did have several of the options, but not all. I didn't know they could come up with everything for your car (RPO) from your VIN, but then again, it is a Pontiac. Chevy didn't keep records like that......
Congrats tho....

Hello all I am new here and thought I would say hi!!! As for RPo codes I am chasing them on my GTA and I did order the packet from PHS and all I got was copy of the invoice and it does not list all the codes. They told my wife when she ordered that you could get a copy of the window sticker for another 35 I think it was. Good luck !!

Believe it or not, that quote is probably accurate.

A window sticker and invoice will show optional upgrade RPOs, but they won't provide RPO codes for the basic parts used to build your car. Those can only be found on the SPID label, which might contain anywhere from 50-90 codes. And from what I've read here on TGO, you can't get that information for pre-1990 cars anymore.

Go to junkyards, pull labels from several cars similar to yours, decode them and accumulate your own list. If the decoder here is still down, do a search and you'll find that people have posted many of, if not all of, the codes and descriptions recently(because the decoder was down).
