my new 89 firebird rpo help
I just picked up an 89 firebird and ran the rpo codes and 1 didn't come back can anyone help. its code ZV1 The other thing is it has a factory digital dash and systems info system I was wondering how common this is. Thanks for the help guys.
Re: my new 89 firebird rpo help
The digital dash was an option on the GTA and Trans AM. It was not available on the base Firebird or Formula. In 1988 the digital dash equipped GTAs accounted for slightly over 50% of the units. Meaning it was not exactly rare or uncommon, atleast not in 1988.

Re: my new 89 firebird rpo help
I think the last year for the Digital dash should have been 1988, same as the Overhead console. I believe it had a lot to do with problems with the Dash checking out. I had a 1990 Riviera with essentially the exact same chip, jsut different layout that blanked out... On top of all of it you could not get repair chips for it to get it working again...

The link below has a great RPO decoder. It lists just about all the RPO codes. (Scroll down a ways to find the decoder... It allows batch entry).

Your ZV1 code shows as: STATEMENT OF ORIGIN MANUFACTURE
