Cant quite read it but this is what I can see (see attached)

Is the 4th line:
W 2KZR

Is the last line:
5VYP

I don't have R or P in my database, but does your car have:
A rear speaker? This would account for the R

P I have never seen before. Anyone else?

Only "P" option I'm aware of is the Reclining Strato Bucket Seat.

R is correct for the U80 rear speaker option.

That might be where the 2Z code comes in.

According to the Chevy code "Z" is shoulder belts (RPO Code A85) but that code was used in group 5. There are several codes that are shared between divisions.

I have one Pontiac reference for code 5P; "Luggage Light" and it states in my notes "FRA (Framingham) only" so do you have a luggage light? Only place it makes sense is in the trunk... Sort if makes sense if since this is a FRA car. Maybe this is a mystery solved??

I am saying that "Y" is "Deluxe Seat Belts" [Probably RPO A39] but doesn't state "shoulder belts" in front or rear in the description so I am unclear as to if that includes rear shoulder belts in that "Deluxe" package. The only shoulder belt I have seen described is RPO A85 "Front Shoulder Belts."

It is probably buried in some sales literature and I can look around and validate that, but I would say that:
As your car has 5Y and IF (Big IF) there have been no modifications, then "Deluxe" probably means shoulder harnesses front and rear...

...though I would like someone to verify that...

I appreciate that my car is completely stripped out I put floors in it before I tucked it away many years ago and I have just recently got the motivation to get it going so its interior is very foggy to me
