jragsdale262 Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supreme_style21 Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 R8A - Control sales item 51 --Dave Thats what I found too.. but all of 'em seemed to be related to the Corvette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveFromColorado Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 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. --Dave.

no1kicker Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Looked in the 90 factory manual, nothing listed for that code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossman429 Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 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.

Bossman429 Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 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!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turby Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 According to #53 you can pick up your vette at the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green!? Alot of people do that. http://www.corvettemuseum.com/ncm_delivery/index.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
