I looked in my book, "Corvette Specs" and it doesn't list any of those, either. Are you sure those are RPO codes?

as I said, if you post your requests in there, we have a chance of filling in the blanks.

some members have a TON of RPO's listed.

You see, many of the RPOs really don't mean much... they are internal production codes that bear little on the car itself.

I can tell you about 1OU... it's Corvette Tax.
