Hello everyone,
I have a Corvette C3 1981 and I need help decoding the trim tag, can somebody please help me? In particular I need to know the interior color. Here is the trim tag.


Thank you all for your help!

Not in my black book...if I had to guess looks like you may have a two tone Silver/Dark Blue exterior (33U 38M ) with a special silver leather interior (33L). Let's see what the experts say.

Edit: "29I" The "1"and "I" got me again. My black book does show a 29C and a 292 both which are the dark blue.

Looks like you have a Bowling Green built car. Is your car Silver/Dark Blue?

Interior code is 29I (i), Dark Blue leather.

I see. Well, the exterior is dark blue and silver. The seats are dark blue, what I need to know is the flooring color, it should be blue but which blue?
Thank you!

Thank you!
The carpet would be dark blue, the same color as the seats and the carpet on your door panels.
