Hi all - new guy here hoping to get some info on my new-to-me '66 Skylark. I tried the online decoder but i wasn't sure where to put some of the numbers. I'm sure it's user error but it went from V6 2 door hardtop, to V8 2 door hardtop, to GS. It doesn't seem to have as many numbers as some I've seen so I'm guessing not a heavily-optioned car. Hoping the collective can set me straight. Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the replies - that's the decoder I used and came up with a couple of different things - the Baltimore and Fremont thing was one of them. I guess I didn't know which numbers to put in which fields a couple of times. Appreciate the help!
I believe those are typos, as I don't think there was ever a GM assembly plant in Fremont, OH. The internet seems to indicate that what was the GM assembly plant in California is now the home for Tesla.
And in between it was home to New United Motors which built Toyota's and Chevy toyota's. I have three cars in my driveway that were built at that plant. One from each generation...
Sometimes Fischer body sticks their build sheet into the seat springs of the rear seat bottom. That would have some option codes on it. Even more rare is finding a full assembly plant build sheet somewhere in the car. But, as already said, the Fremont, Ca assembly plant didn't put option codes on the cowl plate. That number in the corner is the 'manifest sequence number'. The plant would look up that number in their book and it would tell them what options to build the car with.
