    '72 Build Sheet code ZP2 (Color / Trim override)

    Roger Stephens' thread below asks about this for his '73.

    I thought you people might be interested in the '72 that I bought new in Dec '71, in Toronto Ontario. I was a mere pup back then, so it never dawned on me to take a picture of the window sticker (gone when I picked up the car), although I did (later) take pictures of the stickers on other cars on the dealer lot.

    It wasn't until the '90s and after obtaining the GM Canada microfiche copy (for imported cars) that I realized that the Steel Cities Gray on Bright/Dark Blue was a non-recommended combination requiring ZP2 build sheet coding (see link below).


    My old car is # 08196 ; ZP2 code is near the middle of the 2nd line. IMO these obscure RPOs would NOT have appeared on the window sticker. I just bought this car off the dealer's lot, so someone in the sales department must have ordered this combo for the fun of it.

    It may not have been recommended, but I think this combination looks pretty good.

      ZP2 was a "scheduling option" which over-rode both the Zone and Central Office order edit systems, which would otherwise reject a dealer order that specified a "non-recommended" exterior color and interior trim combination.

        I went through this process with my C5 (ordering a non-recommended color combo) and learned that while GM has a will not build non-recommended color combo, Corvette policy is to build what customer wants (in 2000). I ordered a millenium yellow with torch red interior...most unusual in 2000. So, zone (chevrolet) contacted dealer who confirmed the order. Eventually Corvette brand manager had to step in and approve after confirming with the dealer.

        Back in the early 70's, the ZP2 code was apparently used to instruct factory all is ok with this color combo.

          Hello Wayne,
          In 1972 Chevrolet built RPO ZP2 Color and Trim Override (490 coupes and 164 convertibles) total of 654 Corvettes built.
          I think the color combo looks GREAT.
          Regards,
          Drew Papsun
