RPO Codes
Need some help and clarification about a couple of Regular Production Codes (RPO) for a 2004 Corvette Base Coupe. The two Codes are:
NC1 Emission System: California, LEV
NC7 Emission Override: Federal System
Is the NC1 for Corvettes built for sale in California and for Export?
What does the "LEV" mean?
If you have an NC1 Code, did the original order require the NC7?
Thanks!!

Since you are talking about California, I would guess that LEV means Low Emissions Vehicle.
Can't help you on the NC1 or NC7 codes. My car was originally sold in NJ and has an emissions code on the build sheet of NF7.

My recollection is that there wasn't any difference between the California and federal emission limits for that year. The NC1/NC7 "options" are probably some paperwork that the factory had to file with the state. The LEV designation (IIRC) allowed the car an extra year or two when new before it had to be retested at registration renewal time.
There are a bunch of "paper" RPOs like that...as I recall, there's one for if you're picking up your car at the Bowling Green factory rather than having it shipped to a dealer.

Thanks, guys - is there any reason that a person who may be purchasing a 2004 model should be concerned about either of these RPO codes? Are the CATS different for Corvettes that are to be sold in California?
