Anyone know where I can find the coding information for the cowl data plate on my '75? I checked your site Brett but ... that section is under construction

Thanks for the help!

Post your cowl infor here and I will decode it real quick like ..

OK, here goes...

ST75 2FS07 N 533971(last digit is pretty faded)
TR 73W(or N) A51 131 130
01E WS4 OXB
010940(or 6)

The plate is pretty warn, was hard to distinguish some of the data but I believe everything is right except for the two annotated in paranethesis. The W might be an N and the last 0 might be a 6. Is the 6 digit number on the first line suppose to match my VIN? It doesn't. My VIN is..

########533657

What VIN are you talking about?

:evil: And I already had the paint ordered, too. :x

Seriously, I don't think there's any harm in posting it but I see a lot of guys are paranoid about revealing theirs (maybe for good reason :?: )

(but I will still steal your identity and run up your Blockbuster movie rental account :lol: )

ok, here is what I have:

ST = Style
75 = 1975
3 = Pontiac
FS = Firebird
87 = 2-door coupe
N = Built in Norwood, OH
533971 = Fisher Run Number
TR = Trim
73W = Oxblood Interior
A51 = Bucket Seats
12L and 13U = Sterling Silver upper and lower body paint
01E = Built the 5th week of January
WS4 = Trans Am
OXB = Oxblood secondary interior color
010940 = Fisher Date Code

The cowl data plate is not suppoed to match the VIN. Your VIN is a Pontiac number and the cowl plate is a Fisher number.

Hey Rich, this is related to an earlier post question I had, but if your car is Sterling Silver (paint code 13) with the oxblood interior, what color are your graphics??

My graphics are orange/black right now as the car is not silver. See my signature for a good look at the car both interior and exterior as it sits now. This is the way I bought it.

It was not a delete car, specifically indicates $55 for the hood bird. As far as what graphics came on it originally... I wouldn't know where to start finding that as I've not seen that on any of my documentation.

No build sheet??

No build sheet ... yet anyway. I've not even attempted to find it. I got the info from PHS but nothing on their tells me the color of the bird, just that it was ordered on the car.

OK, sorry -- I didn't realize your car was repainted. And if/when you find the build sheet, I'm not sure it will tell what color graphics were original, just that some were applied.
