What a great score, does it have the KPMH Canadian cluster? It's still missing a few options, but the 62B Deluxe Camel Tan interior seat covers are reproduced, both by Legendary and PUI, so getting new covers shouldn't be an issue.

Yes, it has the KPMH cluster. My research so far in regard to the seat covers is that they are currently unavailable and everyone that I have spoken to can't give me a hard timeline as to when they will be available. So, if anyone has a line on a set of these front seat covers, I would be very interested.

The big unknown in regard to the Yellowbird option is how many were produced? I'm hoping the Vintage Vehicle Services info GM Canada documentation will show the breakdown of number of 1980 Pontiac Firebird Esprits sold by color which would be awesome because the two-tone yellow codes 56/37 were only available on the Yellowbird.

Don't know how no one picked up on that, but documentation shows there was 3,850 Yellowbird Esprits made in 1980, All of which were automatic with no breakdown for engine options. Canadian PHS definitely will show how many were sold for the Canadian market, they were able to demonstrate how many 1979 Y84 's were made for my model. You're right, all the suppliers seem to say they are currently out of stock but they are being re-milled so they should be back in stock soon. I had ordered a set about a month or two ago and they had arrived and they were excellent.

Wow, that is an interesting number, if the 17000 number is correct for all 1980 Pontiac Firebird Esprits that would mean that 25% were Yellowbirds???

Where did you order those seat covers from?
