OK here is my code:  78 2FS87 N 316610
                                62B A51 50L 50U
                                06C A31 Y88 TN1
                                210379

what I got out of this per the cowl data decoding section of this website, is that its a 1978 made in Norwood Ohio. the unit #316610 refers to the number made??? it had camel cloth with bucket seats was solar Gold made the 3rd week of June it came with power windows and was a gold Special Edition what does the 210379 mean? anyone have any other input on this?? Thanks

The 316610 is the consecutive body number and is NOT directly connected to the VIN build number. It's a Fisher body count.

The 210379 has not been deciphered yet, as far as I know.

The Y88 verifies that it is a Gold Special Edition Trans Am.

Hope that helps.

210379  .............I've seen where that is THOUGHT to be the SCHEDULE number.  Whatever that is.....I don't know what a schedule number is or indicates.

I've heard that too about a schedule number, but no one has seemed to figure out exactly what it means. The fisher body specific numbers may allude us for years to come. :?

Here is what I have:

78 = 1978
2 = Pontiac
FS = Firebird
87 = 2 door coupe
N = Built in Norwood, OH
316610 = Fisher Unit Number
62B = Camel Tan Interior
A51 = Bucket Seats
50L & 50U = Solar Gold Upper and Lower body paint
06C = Built the third week of June
A31 = Power Windows
Y88 = Gold Special Edition
TN1 - Camel Tan Secondary Interior Color
210379 = Fisher Time Built Code

[scoutleslie]

so it is a firebird not a trans am??? what distinguishes the two then?

[milly]

It is a T/A. A Y88 Gold Special Edition. Rarer than the black Special Edition Trans Ams.
