Post what it says. Trim????? Someone with a Black Book can decifer. What color do you think your interior is? Maybe can give you the code so you can see if that's what's on the tag.   Mike

I don't know if this will help, look on your trim tag for the code.  An example is like my Pace Car had Silver Cloth so the code was 15C, Silver Leather was code 152

INTERIOR CODES: Blk/C=19C; Blk/L=192; LB/C=59C; LB/L=592; DB/C=29C; DB/L=292; M/C=76C; M/L=762; R/C=72C; R/L=722; O/C=12C; O/L=122; Silver/C/Pace=15C; Silver/L/Pace=152

ABBREVIATIONS: Blk=Black; LB=Light Beige; DB=Dark Blue; M=Mahogany; R=Red; O=Oyster; L=Leather; C=Cloth

First is the trim tag located inside the driver side door. The one I have is B LOA L08L25

           741 80L 80U 584 E

I think the color of my inter is dark red. But looking at color codes in Eckler it close to cinnabar. Or am I color blind.

Wow, lot more numbers than my 78/79s. Different nos. to specify which assembly plant. The 80L and 80U are your paint code. Autumn Red. Bowling Green color. 741 is your int color. Except I don't see that listed. There is a 74C and a 742, Dark red cloth and dark red leather. I remember a similar post a few months ago over on CF about the same thing. I believe the cinnabar color was a St. Louis int. color. Will look around over there this afternoon to see if I can find the info if noone finds it before that.   Mike

Did some pokin' around. Cinnabar would be code 67C or 672. Often referred to in books as just dark red.    Mike

80/98....Autumn Red/Dark Claret. Is there a 98 anywhere on the trim tag?   Mike

80L=Red lower
80U=red upper
74I=? I show 67C or 672 also as "cinnabar" for '81, but...in '82 the codes were:
74C=dark red Cloth
742=dark red Leather
????
Also have info that "Leather trim codes may end in the letter "I", rather than the digit "2", for '81 & '82."
Sounds like either the trim tag has been changed, or the paint & int. have been changed.
The only two tone red in '81 was code 80/98, which is red and dark claret. Your trim tag shows to be a solid red paint, and those code #s (colors) were not available in '82. Hmmmmmmm Watson, we have a mystery!

The trim tag should break down as such:
B LOA L08L25

            741 80L 80U 584 E

B='81
LOA= don't know! Should be two digits representing the month(01=Jan...12=Dec), and a letter representing the week of the month(A=1st wk...B=2nd wk..etc.) Are you sure the "L" is not a "1"? Check and verify the nums & letters. I'm curious now! Adams' Apple38554.8468055556
