1980 Seville Elegante RPOs, Paint Matching

Remove this ad
Hi all,
my parents have a 1980 Seville Elegante that's been sitting in their shed for the last 10-15 years. Anyway, I've been trying to dig up information on this car because it has some rust spotting around the doors and needs a touch up (actually, they want to get rid of the car because they never use it and it takes up space).

So from the Body Identification Plate it says the RPO for the paint is 96L and 96U, but I can't find a match at automotivetouchupDOTcom for this year. The paint scheme is single tone (with the cabriolet roof) and the color looks like a copper firemist.

I'm also trying to figure out what options this car has, but I haven't been able to find any placards other than the Body Identification Plate that indicate any RPOs. It looks like perhaps the Vehicle Certification Label came off from the driver's side door as there are some remains from a silver sticker there.

What I can make out so far from the vehicle and service manual is such:
Body Identification
BODY BY FISHER
80 12A 6KS69 E 071703
?02 96L 96U L
AM6 03 0381

VIN 6S698AE68XXXX
(6)Cadillac (S)eville (69)4drSedan (8)V8 350cuinch EFI 5.7L Gasoline (A)1980 (E)Linden,NJ (68XXXX)Production Sequence Number - Linden,NJ

Any additional info and help is greatly appreciated!

Re: 1980 Seville Elegante RPOs, Paint Matching

You may already know this... your paint code is "96" the U stands for upper and the L stands for lower for a two tone. On the later models the RPO sticker is on the spare tire cover.

I found your paint code 96 it's called "Saddle Firemist Poly"

Thanks! I found this also listed as Western Saddle Firemist and it matches except for the fading of the original paint.

I looked in the trunk but couldn't find any RPOs...
