I'll do the best that I can with this.
04B = build date of April, second week
65-44437 = 1965 Buick Skylark, 2 door hardtop
KAN = built in Kansas City
4753 = factory production number
158B = Black interior with bucket seats
C-C = Arctic White body color and top color

first group code
  E = Tinted glass all windows
second group codes
  K = Air conditioning
  L = 4 speed transmission
  C or E ??? = don't know
  P = not sure at this time
third group code
  H = Wide beltline trim molding
fourth group codes
  F = Driver's side remote control mirror
  S = Gran Sport trim
fifth group
  W = Custom seat belt retractors

How's that compare with the car? Sorry, I could not tell for sure what the third letter code is in the second group. Looks like a C or E.

If it's the one from NJ I think it's sold. To someone from OH I believe. Maybe the guy you know Bobby.

Two guys here asked me about the car (I'm about an hour away from it), but it sold almost instantly.
