There were many different combinations or options one could order for their 1985 thru 1987 Buick Regals . If you specifically ordered your Turbo Buick you had to select either some special option package or order individual options for it. These options were known as Regular Production Options (RPOs). The following list of RPOs might be useful in identifying the original options your vehicle came equipped with. All RPOs should be listed on your Service Parts Identification label. Information was taken from GM Product Options booklet.
Service Parts Label
The service parts identification label provides identification of vehicle equipment to assist in servicing and determining replacement parts. Included in this label will be regular production options (RPO's) as well as standard and mandatory options. This label is affixed to the inside of each passanger car vehicle at the assembly plant. It is found on the trunk lid of all C, E, G (3.8l Turbo), H and N series vehicles.
GM also used VIN numbers and Body Number Plates to help identify the specific vehicles.
Body Number Plate
The body number plate identifies the model year, car division, series, style, body assembly plant, body number, trim combination, modular seat code, paint code, and date build code. This plate is located on the upper horizontal surface of the shroud on the B and G (3.8l Turbo) series or on the upper radiator support assembly on A, C, E, H, J and N series.
