There is none that specify all options. The trim tag will tell you paint and interior color and whether or not you have a leather interior (deluxe interior). It is located inside the front of the driver's door jamb.
The only thing that lists all your options is the build sheet. These were usually found on top of the gas tank. Yours may or may not still be there and may or may not be legible.

Beyond the trim tag, which will give you the original exterior color and interior material and color, there was nothing permanetly attached to the car to identify options. The trim tag is found on the forward drivers side door jam, above the door hinge.
If the original gas tank is still in the car, the tank sticker, or remnents of it, may still be on the tank. The tank sticker gave the ordered options, along with the delivering dealer.
In 75, the second and third digit of your VIN indicate body style (67 for conv. and 37 for coupe) and the fith digit indicates which engine, "J" for the base L-48 and "T" for the optional L-82.

my trim tag says:
Chevrolet I24
trim 404 973 paint
I found the paint code online as Mille Miglia Red, but I havnt gotten around to ordering my books yet. Anyone able to tell me what the 404 trim is and what the I24 means?
(I thought it said 124 at first, but since all the other codes Ive seen posted contain a letter for the first digit, I assume it must be an I).

Are you sure it's a '75? Those codes aren't correct for '75. On a '74 976 would be Mille Miglia Red and 404 is Black Leather.
I24 is the production date. It would be April 24th.

The 404 is your interior trim code. Black Leather for a 1972.
