    Pontiac Firebird / Trans Am — Option Codes

    1967–68 options were ordered with Pontiac 3-digit sales codes (1967 cowl tags at some Fisher plants also carry "five-group" accessory codes like 3F = 400). From 1969 the sales manual switched to corporate UPC/RPO codes (L74, WS4…), with numeric sales codes persisting on invoices (e.g. SD-455 = UPC LS2, sales code 35X; billing history "group 34" = engine options, e.g. 347 = Ram Air, 341 = Sprint).
