Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!
Y84 first came into play for "Bandit" cars in 1978 built out of Van Nuys, CA...Norwood cars were designated as Y82.
Starting 1979, Y84s were all S/E "Bandit" cars, and remained that way through 81.
After 1981, the Y84 became the "code du jour" for Trans Ams, but it was intended to represent the Recaro seat option through 85.
GM frequently re-used RPOs through the years, and the Y84 eventually ceased to have any significant meaning even though it was still used occasionally...but I'm not sure when it changed or what it was intended to represent after 85.
Hey Jeff
The `78 Y84 Cars are they the Black ones and Y88 is the Gold ones.
IIRC Gold was the original SE color for `78 and was replaced by Black after the Van Nuys Plant had problems with the paint.

Sort of...the Y88 gold-and-black "S/Es" were the first intentional flip-flop paint scheme to collaborate with the Y84 black-and-gold "Bandit" S/Es.
The Van Nuys cars were plagued by environmental concerns (i.e. banned paint mixes) over the originally spec'd gold paint...alledgedly too much lead in the paint...the original VN gold cars tend to have more of a "greenish" tint as opposed to the Norwood cars due to the the different paint mixes.
Try getting that duplicated on a resto...lol...
