De-Coding Option Lists
Optional Equipment Codes
These codes now cover several makes and models.
De-coding "Build sheets"
Build sheets are a small strip of paper, about 2 inches wide by 8 inches long or a square about 5 inches by 7 inches that is usually buried in the cotton stuffing of the rear seat, in the backrest of the front seat, or drivers bucket. If you are lucky enough to find this, (the mice usually have other plans for it) then photocopy it immediately and put it back, the last thing you want is to lose it after having it right under your butt for so long. If you make a copy and replace it you are ensuring that the next guy (hey, we all know you plan on keeping this one forever!) can enjoy the thrill of "finding" this original documentation. Build sheets usually confirm what the Cowl tag will tell you, but in more depth.
Build sheets consist of the following information:
- The model number, starts with 1 followed by 4 or more numbers.eg 12467.
- A pair of letters will designate the paint code.
- A three number series will designate the interior.
- A series of one letter and two numbers indicates the factory installed options.
If you can find your build sheet, then just look up the codes in the available lists and you'll know for sure what your car originally came with.
These numbers decode as follows:
