How do I go about finding if my car is a low production number or not? I am kind of curious. My car is a '83 Z28 LG4 with 54,000 miles on it. I have the original window sticker and it lists all the RPO codes. How many others had these options in one car?

Thousands, probably. There's nothing especially rare there.

I figured it may have been because when I was trying to get some numbers on the codes, I found that out of all the Z28's for '83 only 18,710 of them had the RPO Code G80 ( Limited Slip Diff). All the other numbers are in the 50,000 to 100,000 built range.

Yeah and unfortunately GM didnt keep combination records so it would be hard to determine how "rare" it actually is.

That's great you have the window sticker for her.I wish I had or could find mine stuck somewhere.Best I could hope for is finding a build sheet.Chevy didn't start putting the service production(RPO) sheets in the cars until late '84 or '85.
The one option you have down that could be considered low prodution is the RPO D42 rear compartment cover.You do have a nicely equipped Z.
This isn't related but what color is GFX and does she still have the factory 15X7 wheels?

I have the factory wheels, just not on the car. I sported for some American Racing 15 x 8 Daytona Mods in black of course. The GFX is gray with the three tone gray stripe on the bottom that is slowly starting to peel off. I may hit Year One for a set of new vinyl, but at $240 for a new set, it's not top priority right now. I also have a 1983 Chevrolet New Car Warranty Information booklet.( that has about 7 or 8 of the little stickers with the Vin #'s on them stapled in side) A General Motors Maintenance Schedule for 1983 ( first three oil changes documented in the booklet by original owner), A Goodyear Custom Mini-Space Spare Tire Warranty booklet, And finally, one Owner's Manual for a 1983 Chevrolet Camaro. When I have time I'm going to try and find the build sheet.
