    I need some help on decoding a 65 GS thin pillar coupe body plate:
    08A
    ST 65-44427 FB 296936 BODY
    TR 198 VV PAINT

    2XCP-4S-5KW

    So far I figured out it was built on the 1st week of August, it is a V-8 thin pillar coupe body and the paint is beige.

    FB -? Is this Flint??

    2XCP-4S-5KW I have no idea what these codes are.

    Thanks for any help you can lend!

    TR 198 = black vinyl ( buckets I believe)

    FB = Flint plant

    I'll have a go at these:

    Trim 198 - Black bucket seats, as Jim Lore said

    Paint VV - Shell biege top and lower body, as you said

    FB is Flint MI plant, as you all say.

    Group 2 options:

    X - Super Turbine 300 Auto Trans
    C - Don't know this one, could it be a "G"?? If is is G then you have Long console
    P - Back up lights

    Group 4 options:

    S - Don't know this one either. :Do No:

    Group 5 options:

    K - Door edge guards
    W - Seat belts with retractors

    My car has these options, plus a few others, and Duane decoded it for me. :TU:
