Can't find these RPO's

[scot w.]

Well there are several RPO codes that I can not find any where. If someone can find them for me and list what they are that would be great.
Here they are:

FFL -
P0N -
YT9 -
6YT -
7YT-
8HP-
9HP-

11U- I know it's a white but it's not showing what white it is!
Example - (10U) is Artic white..

Thank you!

I had to do a lot of searching to find some of these but here are the ones off my car....

11 is just white. The U designates "u"pper body color. but that's all you'll see on monotone colors.

Cars with two tones might have a color code that said, for example: 11U 15L

for upper and lower.


Almost all codes are listed here:
Buick Turbo Regal Option Codes (Regular Production Options - RPO)

Look near the bottom of the page and there are several scrollable windows with all of them in alphanumberic order.

except the one's you list oddly enough.

Sounds like the body was built in Flint MI and transfered to Pontiac MI for final assembly

Stay Tuned. I'm in the process of writing a detailed story about the assembly process for our cars and G-Bodies in particular. It will probably be over at GN/T-TYPE.org in the resources if I can ever get it finished.

And yes our cars were built in two different assembly plants. The tub and I mean complete tub right down to the wire harness,glass and interior was screwed together and painted in the Fisher Body plant in Flint. Than it was trucked south down to Pontiac where it was mated to the frame, driveline and front clip. The 1987 cars also have the RPO code GMD which stands for General Motors assembly Division. GMAD. Those are the guys who ran the Pontiac end of it.
