Weird RPO code / 89 GP SE


Recommended Posts

What is R8A? I've looked up all the RPO codes (my car is even supposed to have fog lights according to the codes) and this is the only one I haven't found.

R8A - Control sales item 51

Thats what I found too.. but all of 'em seemed to be related to the Corvette.

yeah, that's what I was seein' too, but IIRC GM was fairly generic with their RPO codes and the Vette guys were probably the only ones who took the time to really find out what some of them meant.

It would seem that no one knows...What similarity is my 89 to a Vette??? :shock:

 

Oh well...thanks guys!

Looked in the 90 factory manual, nothing listed for that code.

I would guess those had something to do with the dealership the vehicle was being sent to, or something to do with the MSRP, or window sticker or something. The assembly plants had to have some sort of way to track cars that were optioned to a customer's preferences through a particular dealership.

My STE has a:

R6A - CONTROL SALES ITEM NO. 01

R6R - CONTROL SALES ITEM NO. 17

R9H - CONTROL SALES ITEM NO. 83

Those were the toughest RPO's to find other than assembly plant codes.

Here are some examples to further prove my theory (thanks to some random RPO breakdowns on a Yahoo searches for these):

 

R6M - Control sales item 13 New Jersey cost surcharge

R7A - Control sales item 26 special option processing

R8C - Control sales item 53 National Corvette Museum delivery

 

They must indicate Dealership delivery/customer order information and processing. According to #53 you can pick up your vette at the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green!?
