Default Deciphering Corvette codes

2009 Z51 auto

I am trying to find what all the codes for my C6 mean. I am sure there must be a document somewhere out there that can help me, just can't find it.

I have the dealers WINDOW STICKER: (from the CORVETTE (Museum)
I have the BOWLING GREEN ASSEMBLY BUILD SHEET; (from the CORVETTE Museum)
I have the Corvette Black Book (Mike Antonick)

The builders' sheet has codes and what they mean on some of the things, but other things I just cant understand, such as

The very first thing on the sheet (Top/Left box) Says: MODEL: 07 ???
In the "H" BOX it just says "A". ???
Many more like this. Anyone know where I can translate these codes?

Three of the 2009 C6s had an RPO code with 07 in them.

One of the 1YY07 was the Base Corvette Coupe.
Another of the 1YY07 was the Competition Sport Special Edition.
A 3rd 1YY07 was the GT1 Championship Edition Coupe.

BTW, Z51 is not a C6 model. It's a performance package for coupes and convertibles.

Maybe the 07 is for your Base Corvette Coupe.

The National corvette museum library and archives lists the RPO codes and production numbers for individual year.

Thanks for that info. Followed your link and it does give specs for all Vettes. However the specs for the 2009 is devoted strictly to the ZR1 model, nothing on the base model.

In replay to another reply: My CSN is 1YY0413000 (what ever that means) and it does have the Z51 sports package;
