It looks like a white on white deluxe but I cannot find the vinyl top number. Any ideas?

The interior color is White custom.
The exterior is Cameo White, no vinyl top.
The BLK is for the steering column color I believe? (black)

How do you know there is no vinyl top? This car has a black one. Is there a spot on the vin tag that’ll show the top? I have seen a couple decoders but I’m confused over what I’m seeing and what it’s showing. Thanks

Oh my God! It really is. Pics do this car no justice! When this thing rolled off the enclosed trailer yesterday, my wife’s pupils were heart shaped! And she usually doesn’t care about what I drag home.

Plans are to put it back to original. And I like the vinyl top on this car.

It's not showing, didn't always show all options on that. Could be factory, could be added, popular at the time. Not sure if these were delivered with them or outsourced.

The 11 11 is the exterior paint code, the 1st 11 is the lower paint, the 2nd 11 is the upper paint. (not 2 tone)
If it had a vinyl top the 2nd 11 would be a letter signifying the top color.
'B' would be for the black top if used. 11 B (A would be white, other letters for different colors)


The 11W is the interior color, which is custom white in your case.

When cars were damaged by hail, vinyl tops were often added to reduce the effort required to repair the car. I've found several cars (mostly A-bodies) that had vinyl tops added. I have seen few Firebirds with vinyl tops.

Actually checked and the code for a vinyl top in 1975 was changed, but still shows none for your tag.

A white top would be 11T, black would be 19T.

BTW, you could order the PHS for the car and it would also show the options that came with the car.

This is an Esprit correct?

And...

That is a great looking Bird.
The top makes the white look better in my opinion.

Yes. It’s an Esprit which I don’t see often in Texas. Where can I acquire one of these PHS reports?
