Default 1985 rpo codes

I just bought an 85 and just wondering where I find a description of all these RPO codes. I only found descriptions for about 10 of them. I think it orignally was a black/red car with a 4+3.

AG9 AU3 A42 A51 BGR B3W CC3 C49 C60 DL8 D3X D9B E5Z E9Z FG3
G44 KC4 K34 K90 L98 MK2 MM4 NA5 QZD UQ4 UU8 VO8 V73 Z6A 1AY
18L 18U 74I 742

Thanks a lot

Tim

Which are those? There are included on the "SPO label" XXX info that aren't RPO's but are related to build specifics.

not to threadjack, but in reference to WVZR-1's question, the following RPO codes that are on my sticker are not on the list:

A51
B16
C49
D9B
E5Z
HE3
K34
K61
MK2
MM4
NA5
NB1
QZD
UQ4
Z6A
1AZ
63L-i think this is related to the lower color code if the car were two tone
63U-i think this is related to the upper color code if the car were two tone
651
652

so as you can see, the majority of the RPO codes on my sticker are not on that list. i'm not sure if the 84 model year uses a different list or what.

A51 - Bucket Seats
B16 - ? (usually referred to exterior trim special)
C49 - Rear Defog
D9B - VSS Code
E5Z - Delete Speedo Key (Most '84 GM products still used mechanical)
HE3 - 3.07 Axle
K34 - Cruise
K61 - 97 AMP
MK2 - 4spd - trans type
MM4 -The Merchandising option for the 4 speed trans
NA5 - Federal Emissions
NB1 - Closed Loop Emissions
QZD - 255/50R16
UQ4 - Bose 4 speaker
Z6A - Defroster Side window
1AZ - Sales option package
63L-i think this is related to the lower color code if the car were two tone
63U-i think this is related to the upper color code if the car were two tone
651 - 65I - Interior trim related (Bronze) carpet, plastic trim et
652 - Bronze leather seating

These I'm quite confident in
