RPO label question

Hello guys after a long time of bean not a owner of a third gen. I'm back , yesterday a bought the 85 TPI with near perfect interior with 123k miles.
Have the interiors of my first Iroc back in 1987. Now the sad part is the RPO label is missing. Is possible to find a copy a RPO label with the VIN number?

Tag for info. My Trans Am RPO label is there, just nearly completely illegible.

Re: RPO label question

You may have a build sheet on the underside of the passenger bucket. If there then remove the seat to extract it from behind the seat support wiring.

Otherwise you can order a dealer invoice from GM for $50. But it will have less detail than the build sheet.

Man as soon I saw your advice I went and pull out the seat and was no build sheet under it 😞.

Re: RPO label question

All of the build sheets I have found have been beneath passenger seats of Van Nuys Camaros built for approximately the 1984 model year. In the upper midwest the majority of our cars were built in Van Nuys. Others have found sheets throughout their cars. But maybe after 84 it was less common.

Re: RPO label question

In my 92 TA the build sheet was hidden under the passengers door panel, but I have the SPID in the rear storage box. Also in my long gone black 92 V6 it was at the same spot. In my 88 GTA I wasn't able to find the build sheet and it is also missing the SPID. But I never looked under the seat, I always thought they hide it just under the door panel. I have the dealer invoice so I know it is a real GTA, but as stated above, it shows only a few things and not everything. Will have a look under the seat next week.

Re: RPO label question

With the VIN, dealer invoice, and radiator support body tag you can confirm a lot of information specific to an ‘85, including month and week of build.

Re: RPO label question

The build sheet in my 1987 IROC was under the drivers side bucket seat. Did you look there? Mine was Van Nuys built also.

I


​​​​​​I will going to check under the seats and both door panels. At the same time is a good opportunity for a good clean up. This are the labels in the driver side door.

Re: RPO label question

What year did they start putting the RPO sticker in the back storage pods?

I went to the back storage, spare tire cover,under the hood, console lid, definitely that label is missing. I pull out all the seats and door panels, to see if can find a build sheet with no luck.
I will going to end buying a invoice copy to have more info. about this car.
