Default Trim Tag

Hi all, I'm trying to determine the meaning of the trim tag on my 79 Vette, If I'm reading it correctly it say:

Chevrolet G27
Trim 722 IOL Paint(?)

Can anyone help tell me what it says? I think the G is built on February 27th?

10L, 722 is Classic White (exterior) over Medium Red Leather (interior). The "L" in 10L is redundant, AFAIK. White over red is the best color combination for Corvettes!

Please post a photo!

EDIT: See below for the L explanation.

The letters U and L were used on GM body tags for upper body color and lower body color..

This is from the factory assembly manual.

That is good to know!

My 80 is also 10L (and 722). I didn't realize the "L" had any significance.



OP, be sure to also download the Vehicle Information Kit for your car, from the GM Heritage Center media archive.
