Re: RPO code location?
I am new at Trans Am ownership. I bought a 1986 with a 305 quadrajet 4 bbl and 39,000 miles on it.
I looked for the RPO code in the glove box and it is not there, didn't see it on the doors or in the rear area either. Any other place it would be?
The car is like new condition and all the other labels seem to be there, it was a 1 owner.
thanks in advance.

Re: RPO code location?
Thanks, but where on the center console? I looked inside and nothing, and no marks like there was one on the bottom of the door or on the inside walls.
Is there a printed sheet under one of the seats in Trans Am's?
thanks again.

Open the center console lid, remove the cassette holder (if equipped) and you should see the white and black sticker stuck to the inside wall on the right (passenger) side.
As far as printed sheet, some cars have a "build sheet" which would contain a list of RPO codes, the dealership information that ordered the vehicle, etc. But those can be placed literally anywhere in a given car - if it's even inside the car. It could have been removed or discarded.

Re: RPO code location?
Working in a Pontiac, Buick and GMC dealer bodyshop, I used to find build sheets rolled up and shoved inside the front frame rails when I removed the impact bar for repairs. But even then they were starting to weather and fall apart.

Re: RPO code location?
Any funny places on an F-body... I have read where owners have found them in the front bumper support...
