I don't recall ever seeing a 5th gen. with a vinyl top so I looked in my book (Catalog of Chevelle, Malibu & El Camino ID Numbers 1964-87).They list 1979 G-bodies as having 7 Vinyl Roof Colors, but did not break down each body style. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

I have a set of the trim. My buddy had a 78 Super Sport El Camino that had the vinyl top option that he pulled it off of.

Not sure on the RPO code.

I would part with it, kind be difficult to ship.
