    Can anyone help decode the data plate on my 65 GS? I've got the first two lines figured out but the third line has me stumped. Any help appreciated. The entire plate reads as follows:

    St 6544467 FB 187281 Body
    TR 158 R2 Paint
    W 2 LP 4S 5W

    I have not found anything on the meaning of "W 2 LP 4S 5W".
    Thanks Rob Keena

    W is tinted windshield.
    2L is 4 speed.
    P might be back-up lights.
    4S
    5W I think is wheel opening moldings

    Rob, try a post on the forum at www.65gs.com
    Lots of 65 guys there:beer

    Walt, I sure do appreciate this information. It helps me to confirm that my 4spd is original as I have not yet located a build sheet. It looks totally original but this will help me sleep at night as I open my checkbook tracking down parts for this restoration. Much obliged.
