Barney Eaton Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 A little more searching shows B30 was carpet, B54 was floor mats, as noted above C60 was A/C W15 was a sales code....may have been for the GS package, they often had option packages, sometimes for different regions of the country that bundled option into a sales code.

cjp69 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Jim, post a picture of the cowl tag on the firewall, sometimes they have option codes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) I don't claim to know the specific codes of GS or any other GM cars except Reatta..... but GM used the same common codes and looking at several reference items as well as GM parts books often have the codes. There are some "special" codes that mean something to certain cars. On the Reatta in 1988 there was an X22 code that was nothing more than an accounting/sales code for the 55 cars designated for the Select Sixty Dealers..... there is nothing else on the car that designates that. Then in 1990 they made 65 special convertibles for the Select Sixty Buick Dealers.....those cars had several unique features not available on other Reattas, it also had a code R1V only on those cars. I would like to determine if there were other year/model of Buick that were built for the Select Sixty Dealers but have not had much luck... we do know they made a special 1982 Riviera convertible for the dealers but without 1982 Riviera convertible owners sending in pictures/copies of the Service parts label, we cannot establish that special code.... same goes with the 1987 GNX, there were going to build 500 but the final number was 547.....because they added cars of the Select Sixty Dealers.... I have ask Richard Clark and Dennis Kirban to send me pictures of GNX service parts labels but have only received a couple.... would be interesting to find those 47 cars.

thepartsman Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Hope you don't mind I was needing the practice: 204 = Job Number 8933 = 118933 should be the Build Sheet ID number. 154 = Ivory Bucket Seat Interior A31 = Power Windows A49 = Front Seat Belts w/Retractors A50 = Bucket Seats B30 = Carpeting B54 = Custom Padded Cushions (Front Seats) C27 = Roof Covering (Vinyl Top) C60 = Air Conditioning (Automatic) D55 = Long Console M33 = A.T. ST 300 P05 = Chrome Wheels W15 = Gran Sport Option From the Build Sheet and Fisher Body Plate as viewed on the 65gs.com reply #13 Decoding Fremont build cars cowl tag PROJECT (65gs.com) Fisher Plate 03E (5th week of March) Matches your Build sheet assembly date 03/30/65 Build Sheet Engine "SZ" #1395153 for usage with P/S, A.C. and A.T. Build Sheet Transmission "NK" = ST300 Build Sheet Axle Code "LU" = 3.08 with A.T Build Sheet Radiator "SJ" = Radiator with A.C. Build Sheet Frame "PE" = Pontiac Frame Used for Gran Sport Option.
