    Hey dave. Welcome to the NCRS. Purchase the Trim Tag Verification book form the NCRS. It's INSANE at how much detail and information is in the book. It has close ups of trim tags, all their abberations/flaws, etc. It's over the top chock full of information. You may want to also purchase the Pocket Spec Guide. It's the most inexpensive, but most helpful book I have. Good luck. ARA

        Dave -- while you're waiting for the book that Ara has recommended, feed us the 5 bits of stamped data: body assy. date code (upper left corner); the STYLE; the TRIM; the BODY; and the PAINT codes.

          I hope I have this right as I have not seen the car and someone has relayed the trim info to me.

          Style 65-467
          Trim 436BA
          Body S1609
          Paint 960M

          Thanks

          Dave

            Dave -- missing the body assy. date code (ie. E24, or similar) from the upper left corner of tag. (eg: E= December) 24th day.

            436BA is Maroon Leather on a convertible without power windows or automatic transmission.

            Paint 960M is probably 900MM, which is Milano Maroon.

            Body S1609 is the 1609th convertible body built at St.Louis (A bodies were built in Ionia Mich. and shipped to St.Louis).

            Style 65 467 confirms a 1965 model year convertible.

              Thanks, I will have to get the other number. I also have the VIN, in order for this to be a 396, does the VIN need to be above a ertain number since they were late 65 intros

              Thanks

              Dave

                Hi Dave,

                I'm not sure that all the info from the trim tag has been relayed correctly, but from what you've provided it sounds like a Milano Maroon convertible with maroon leather interior with a St. Louis body #1609.

                Hope that helps,
                Rob

                        E 18 would be December 18th. 1964. I believe 396 production began in the VIN # 13000 area. #13000 would have been built in March.

                          last 5 digits on the VIN are in the 04900 range, is it possible this may not be a 396 with that VIN#?
