If you post the codes, someone here will definitely translate the information.

ok I got the paint and interior codes figured out but the code to the right of chevrolet I can seem to find any info on.  They are H02 on one and N24 on the other car.  One car is also an l82 but the speedometer on the l82 only goes to 85 where the l48 speedo goes to 140 I thought they switched to the 85 mph speedo in 1980.  any info?  thanks

HO2 = March 2nd, '79
N24 = Sept. 24th, '79
These are the "build dates" for the cars. If the L82 car w/85mph speedo is the Sept. car, then it probably has the '80 design speedo.

My black 79 was built 2 weeks before yours and it also has the 85mph speedometer. Wow, Sept 24th! Must be one of the last 79s built.
