1981 trim tag question

[Scott C Pfuehler]

Gentlemen we need your help. This is the trim tag info off of an 81 and we cannot decipher it so please help us do so.
Serial #1G1AY8767B5108054
Two lines of info on trim tag and they are:
810A 108054
741 332 33U 39ME
What do these numbers mean? We are looking for the paint and interior codes that are susposed to be on this tag. This Corvette is heavily modified but it is real low mileage, red paint and a marron colored interior, Cinnibar maybe.
Thanks Scott

Re: 1981 trim tag question

Scott,

I'll try to decipher this for you but as my 1981 was built in St. Louis my Trim Tag is different and I am not entirely up to speed on the cars that were built in Bowling Green in 1981.

810A: I believe this should be B10A and if so is a "time Built Code" of B=1981, 10= October, and A=first week of October.

108254= is the last six digits of your VIN no. with 1=Bowling Green Plant and 08254= serial number. (Your Time Built Code verifies this VIN no.)

741: I believe this should be 74I(eye) and if so would be a Trim Code (interior) of Dark Red Cloth or Dark Red Leather.

332: I belive this should be 33L and if so would be an exterior paint code of the lower body portion color of Silver Metallic.

33U: This would be an exterior paint code of the upper body color of Silver Metallic.

39ME: This designation has me stumped. I believe the "E" is to be separated from the 39M and what the meaning of 39M is I do not know. Maybe someone else can shed some light on this one.

Hopefully I have been of some help.
