I think it is all figured out for the Monza Estate Wagon, which is a YC6 option code, and included the BX3 and whatever else was part of the Estate package when ordered. I also have on the '1978 Vehicle Ordering Guide' that says ...
Woodgrain Paneling: standard on Monza Estate (YC6)
Station Wagon ..........................................1HM15 BX3 201.10 183.00 170.41 166.31 (last 4 numbers are costs - MSRP, list, invoice, dealer)
So obviously you could order a base wagon, get the woodgrain paneling added without an Estate package, which would explain the price difference (less) that Brian showed in his last post.
Unfortunately none of this clears up the Sunbird question, or gets us closer to figures for the woodgrain paneling. Not that it is a huge issue, i started the page figuring it was a unique Wagon option, like the Estate was to the monza Wagon, but it is just a woodgrain paneling, not a 'true' option. I'll keep the page up for the hell of it anyway. no point in erasing work I've already done.
Starting to run out of options and unique H-bodies to post pages on now. Just finishing up pages on all the 4 H-Body postcard sets that GM made, as well as the Topps set from 1977. Plenty to keep me busy even if I'm running out of production cars to post about.
