Is there a website where I can go to decipher the code on my firewall plate. I just bought my first Buick today..a 67 GS400 survivor. It has some great options like head rests, reclining pass. seat, tilt wheel and disc brakes. If there isn't a site to get this info, here are the numbers in case someone has the answers and would like to help!

Good Morning:

Those strange characters at the bottom resemble 67 Camaro option codes, wonder if they decode similarly.
A 67 Camaro can be completely documented from these characters.
Each # represents an option group and following letters designate the specific option on the 67 Camaro. This was for 67 only as well.
Is this for Buicks as well? Does anyone have the decoding? Looks like more than a coincidence it is on a 67 model year GS

thx

Try Atlanta Buick Specialties web site, atlantabuick.com. They have charts that help ID and decode VIN #s, Interior trim codes, Interior Dye Codes, Carb #s, carb #s/IDs, Rear axles, positraction rear ends, lube charts, bolt torque specs etc. A lot of other good stuff too.
Good Luck.

Guys,
Just found this post while I was looking for something else.
John P. Allen is correct the codes at the bottom of the ID plate are Fisher Body Option codes. I am in the process of getting enough buildsheets/ID data plate information for 65-67 cars so I can figure these out.
If anyone has this info and can list it along with the known options their car came with I might get somewhere. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Duane and group:
I am going to buy a 1966 GTO Tri Power 4 spd tomorrow. If I remember it has this set of #'s and letters as well. It is PHS documented and is sparingly equipped except the go fast options.
I will post those codes as well when I get it home.
As I mentioned you can document a 67 Camaro from these as it lists RS, SS and particular engine and trans, it is group 4. The first group is a one as it doesnt have the #1........ Then group 2 stands for 3 items and so on.
I found the book. Here is the breakdown: the tag you have decodes this way if it was a Camaro.....
W= Tinted Windshield only
X= Power windows
2Z= Turbo 400
G= Console
R= Rear Speaker
3B= Rear Defroster
5Y= Deluxe Seat Belts
Is this accurate? This was for a 1967 Camaro.
I posted the article below in a word doc to download.

JA,
I agree with your decoding of Harvey's "Flint" Data plate. Some of the codes are the same as for the Camaro, Chevelle, etc., but some codes seem to be buick specific. Some codes also seem to be either deleted or changed for different production plants. I think the "R" on the end of Harvey's "Flint" trim code stands for a passenger recliner. I have another 67, that is optioned almost the same as Harvey's, with a passenger recliner from "Baltimore" and it has no such trim code, but has other accessory codes. It appears there is little info available for the Buick and Olds specific codes, the search continues.

Harvey's car also came with a manual rear view mirror, as it had no code for the remote mirror.
Duane

PS. JA, thanks again for the help with the 14" & 15" wheel articles.

PSS. I am looking for a 66 buildsheet/Data plate info for a skylark/GS with a bench seat, seems I only have them for bucket seat cars.
Anyone have one?

Duane:
U R Very welcome. I just saw his list of options and these coincide with the decoding from the Camaro codes except it lists no code for headrests and I dont see his listing of rear defrost.
The article I posted is the only one I have seen on these codes in the many years of my Muscle Car following. 26 years to be exact since my first car was a 1971 442. Even the Camaro white book has no listings for these codes.
My best friend has had his 1967 RS/SS 396 Camaro for 20 years and his decodes exactly to these.
Has or does anyone know of any other listings of these codes.
Duane, thank you for your hard research work, I as well others I am sure, appreciate it very much.
Thx again

Here is some info from a good Pontiac site. I put the link below. Wonder where they got this from? Their decoding is the same as the Camaro info.
They say it is for 66/67 models.


Accessory Codes


If there are accessory codes on the data plate, these codes primarily identified equipment or options installed. Some codes only identify option and not specific equipment.
The accessory codes are made up of a number (except 1) and followed by one or more letters. The number in front of the code identifies which group the accessory belongs to.
5 groups make up the codes for example:
(1st Group) W = tinted glass/windshield, etc.
(2nd Group) L = 4-speed floor shift, etc.
(3rd Group) B = rear window defogger, etc.
(4th Group) F = remote mirror, etc.
(5th Group) Y = custom seat belts (1966-1967), etc.

JA,
I found some other sites on the web by using Google and entering "Fisher Option Codes" There isn't much info out there, but I found some stuff including some Riviera codes. Some work for our cars, some don't.
Most of the codes work for 67 cars, but quite a few of the 65-66 codes are no-shows and will need to be deduced by cross-referencing many buildsheets/ID plates. That's how the other codes were found. This is the same thing I went through when I started doing the 70 Production Order Body Final sheets. There was no info available for the Manufacturer codes, so I had to cross-reference the buildsheets. It took years to figure out, but once I had a start the other years got easier.
I expect the same with this, but I will figure it out. It takes a lot for me to give up. All I need is a bunch of info from 65-67 cars.

I now decode around 20 different buildsheets for 68-72 Skylark/GS's. Even did one the other day for a guy with a 70 Chevelle SS396 car. It would be nice to figure out the 64-67 cars, then I could do them all.

Anytime Harvey, glad to help.
Here is more on these codes from a 67 GTO site.

Duane:
Maybe this will add and or help to your recap and research.
The link is at the bottom of this post.
My GTO decodes to this as well. It is a Pontiac built car.


As an example of the Five Group Accessory Code system, WX 2KZGTR 3N 4F 5Y on a GTO data plate from the Pontiac, MI plant indicates the following accessories (numbers mark the beginning of the next code group): tinted windshield (W), power windows (X), A/C (2K), 3-spd auto transmission (Z), console (G), rear-mounted power antenna (T), rear-seat speaker (R), reading lamps (3N), remote control mirror (4F), and deluxe front seat belts (5Y). The meanings of some Five Group Accessory codes are not yet known. As far as I know, no Pontiac factory literature exists to decode the accessory codes. These were determined from cars in the research study.

Group 1
D Power convertible top
E Soft-ray tinted glass (all windows)
O Two-tone Paint (Chrome separator strip)
T Power seat - bucket, left seat only
V Remote control deck lid release
W Soft-ray tinted glass (windshield only)
X Power windows
Y Power seat - bench
Group 2
B 3-spd manual transmission floor
E A/C, diff ducting
G Console
H Heater delete
K A/C
L 4-spd manual transmission
R Rear seat speaker
S Rear-mounted manual antenna
T Rear-mounted power antenna
U 8 track tape system
V Verba-Phonic rear speaker
W 2-spd auto transmission
Z 3-spd auto transmission
Group 3
B Rear window defogger
K Dome courtesy lamp
N Roof rail reading lamps
Group 4
F Outside remote control mirror
Group 5
B Luggage light (KAN plant only)
J Underhood light
M Rear center seat belt
P Luggage light (FRA & PON plants)
Y Deluxe front seat belts
Z Shoulder belts, front seat

UPC Code System

The following UPC codes are some common examples found on 1967 data plates of cars built at [Fremont (BF)].

A31 Power windows
B80 Chrome drip molding
C08 Cordova roof cover
C60 A/C

That is beautiful, it is a Body shop Inspection sheet. You can see the punched out initials of the inspectors that "OK'd and Bought the body from Fisher Body. I have several of these from 70-72 cars, but have never seen one for a 67. I would like to get a paper copy of that for my records.

gasoline takes tar off of clothing. it may work for paper... though will soak into the paper.

it would most likely make the paper transparent (ever find an oil soaked piece of paper? kinda like that)

i'd only recommend it if its a dire need thing.

On a 1971 car, what does the trim tag code "35D" translate to? I thought they had to be from 01x to 12x, as in month and week. I have another '71 that is 02C and thought this would be Feb week 3.

Dan Healey
10-09-2003, 03:34 PM
I hope your not looking at the paint code & top color side. Should be on the left, bottom side of the plate for the build date. Sounds like maybe a mistery (or mistake).:Do No:

The "C" is 3rd week of Feb on the 2nd one.

A good scrubbing shows the number to be 05 not 35. So the build date is 4th week of May. Is this just the body or does this date code appear on the frame, engine, manifolds, trans, etc, etc? TIA, Skip

Dan Healey
10-10-2003, 03:21 PM
And it is for the BODY by Fisher only. Then the body was moved to the Buick final assembly plant where the drive train & frame was matched to the body.:bglasses:

No date on the frame as far as I know, but the VIN was stamped on the drivers side toward the rear wheel, and on top the frame.

Duane
10-10-2003, 09:04 PM
Pete,
Thanks for the list of codes, and for the paper copy you are sending. It really helped. Between your and other info I have I can probably figure out all the other 67 codes and get a good idea of the 66 codes.

Pete,
I have 2 questions, when was your convertible built, and at what production plant?

Skip,
The frames have the date and part # stamped on the outside left frame rail directly in front of the rear bumper bracket. The other components, such as body panels, engine, glass, etc should all be close to that date.

Were all those options available on 1967 A bodies?
Power antenna, door locks and Auto Climate control?
Or is it that the same sheet was used for all Buicks?
Most of these codes are the same as the Riviera codes but some Riviera codes are not explained on this sheet.
I do not see group 5 codes explained on the sheet. Are they used on Skylarks? For example, on Rivieras, the 5 K code means that door edge guards were installed from the factory.

Guys,

The info in this thread has been awesome! I have been able to decode everything in the VIN for the 67 GS 400 I bought except for one thing, the trim code. Can someone help me with that? It is TR 184A. I am thinking it is Parchment, and hoping it isn't Dove White.

Here is the entire tag info in case anyone cares:

05D
67-44617FL1 251662

TR 184A Paint T-2

E2EZR
4F

If I am reading this right, that means it came with tinted glass, A/C, Rear Speaker, and 3 speed Auto (all of which it did come with), and is Ivory with a black vinyl top.

Thanks, Chris

P.S., My buddy has a Freemont (BF) and his has "7636" and "0411" at the bottom as option codes. Anyone know what these are? It is a low option, early model? (12A build date, Build # 00648) 4 speed car. Color code RR.

Duane
10-28-2003, 09:56 PM
Chris,
Trim code # 184 is an all vinyl Dove White front bench, with no armrest, interior. (Parchment wasn't available with GS interiors in 67.)
Personally, I think the dove white is a much nicer color then the parchment. I had a Lt. turquoise metallic 66 GS with dove white front buckets and I thought it was a beautiful color combination.
Duane

cjp69
10-29-2003, 01:12 AM
Thanks for the info Duane!

I like the Dove as well, however I heard it was very hard to find. The car has been converted to buckets and a console, and it has the right 67 buckets, but they are black. Also the rear seat has a slight tear in it, so it needs the seats recovered.

None of the suppliers list the Dove as being available, that is why I was hoping for the parchment. There is a guy in Vancouver, WA that can do the seats in Dove, so I may have to contact him if I end up keeping the car. Do you know of anyone else doing seat covers in Dove?

Thanks, Chris

Duane
10-29-2003, 07:07 AM
Chris,
I am not up on current events regarding upholstery. I used to make these seats all the time, before I sold off the upholstery part of my business. (Classic Car Interiors) I would call Poston, I think he buys upholstery kits from the company that bought me out. They sell strictly to their venders, so you can't buy direct, I don't even have their phone #'s anymore.
Another thing, some venders may be listing the Dove white, actually an off white color, as parchment. I think you should be able to find that color available. Call Legendary and get a sample.

Anyone know what these are?

It is a low option car, early model I think based on the build info(12A build date, Build # 00648) and is a 4 speed car. Do these cowl tag numbers somehow translate to that?

Color code is RR, with black buckets.

My book shows interior trim code "184" in '67 to be "light fawn", cloth and vinyl for a skylark, including a custom, and just vinyl for a GS. I show "184#" to be light fawn and just vinyl with a notch seat for a GS.

10-31-2003, 08:58 AM
I am not saying it is not Dove white. All I am saying is Buick's own Dealers Chassis & Body Illustration Catalog which is what the dealers used back then calls for interior interior trim color 184 "Lt. Fawn." It does not list dove white at all. It does list ivory but only for 9000 series(Rivs). As I read the book the white or ivory options outside of the 9000 series were offered in other model years but not 1967.

In a 4667, 4607 or 4617 which covers a GS coupe, hardtop or a convt., the only option that year for 184 interior trim is followed by "#" which means "Lt Fawn " "vinyl", no cloth , with a "notch seat."


Having said that Duane has the best handle on interiors. I am just passing on what the dealer books from back then say. Would be glad to fax anyone that Dealer page to review.

The 67 dealer's brochure mentions these colors as available on the GS 400:
Bucket seats colors are dove, black, blue, yellow or aqua in the coupe and sport coupe and black, blue, red or yellow in the convertible.
Bench seats in dove or black are available in all GS 400 models.

Of course, the dealer's brochures are sometimes incorrect but that's what written in it.

Guys,
Here is how the numbering system goes for 67 GS A-body interiors;

First off the last number designates the color;
--8 black
--1 Dk blue
--4 Dove (Sometimes called Lt. Fawn, depending on the Factory source material used.)
--6 Aqua (Turquoise)
--7 Red
--3 Yellow (Buckets only)
--3 Saddle (Bench-no-arm only)

The 110's are standard front bench-no-arm interiors
The 190's are deluxe front bucket interiors
The 180's are deluxe front bench-no-arm interiors
The 160's are deluxe front bench-with-arm interiors

So if you had a trim # of 184 it comes out to be a Dove (Lt. Fawn) deluxe front bench-no-arm interior.

There were other colors available for 67, but they were not available in a GS.

I'll give you another hint, If you look at the part numbers for interiors in the Year One catalogue, it lists the Trim codes "in" the part number. I helped set up these "Smart" part number codes to make it easier for them and me, so we could make sure their customers got the right color interior for their car.

Now everyone can figure out their own 67 interior combinations.

Hi all,
Been following this thread, if i'm not mistaken the 'R' in the options code is supposed to be a rear speaker according to a prior post ??? I'm asking because R is the only option code on my 66 Skylark GS cowl tag, but my car came through with a radio 'delete' option :Do No:. Does anyone know for sure what the 'R' refers too ? Sorry if I maybe misread one of the earlier posts.

I can't believe this thread is still alive. I just looked through it again and this must have been one of my very first posts. I started the thread the day I got my 67 which is my first Buick. That was March 2003...this thread is almost 2 years old. The information is terrific. The decoding provided in this thread matches exactly to the options on my car. I'll say it again. There's a whole bunch of awesome people on V8. :TU:
Thanks to all of you.

Great info here. Thanks to everyone for contributing. My 67 decodes perfectly with the codes listed.

BTW, Duane (or anyone) what month of the previous year did Fisher start putting out the new bodies? I think someone had 08C for their 67 and it was built in 66? Just curious if they went from a certain month in the year or not.

The reason you did not get a response is that you needed to start your own thread rather than tap on to someone else's but here is cut at the decode:




44667 = 2 door gran sport convert.

FL = Flint --plant of manf.

209349 = Fisher body sequence number

A-2 = Regal black body paint with a Black convert top

Tr 29 = ?? you left off a number or I am missing this code

2L = 4 speed trans

5Y = Deluxe seat belts

w = tinted windshield ??

The Acessory codes are something that I do no have except I recall the 2 LE may be in part for the 4 speed trans. and 5 y are the seat belts, but you need to verify that with others as I could be mistaken.

Nice car.

The picture of the body plate shows W (tinted windshield) 2L (4 speeds)
I don't know what the "E" stands for, maybe it's for the storage console? In 1967, it was for the manual a/c but I know it wasn't for that in 1966.
I think that the 5Y is for the "deluxe seatbelts".

This site shows a few codes for Chevelles. Some of them are the same for Buicks (and full size Buicks too)

Shamone,
Is it possible to write out the codes on the large Fisher Body Inspection sheet that are hidden under the black areas. Some of the writing is very hard to read, and I am sure it is much clearer on the original.

And could you take a picture of the other side of the sheet.

I decode quite a few different buildsheets and would like to add this information to my library.
Thanks.
Duane

Shamone,
Thank you for listing everything, it really helps.

The reason I asked for a picture of the other side is because I thought there was some information there. The later years, 69-72, have the options that actually came on the car printed on the reverse side. I didn't know the 66 sheets were blank.

Again, thanks for the help.
Duane
