My cowl data plate

I also have the small Gran Sport grille emblem, and I've attached a picture of my cowl tag for decoding. Thanks in advance.

Steve,

02B is second week of Feb.
65-44467 is a Skylark convertible
TR 159 is saddle interior
Paint C2  - C is white lower, 2 is the top color, but I'm not familiar with the convert. top colors
112440 I assume is the body sequence number from Flint.
E-2KXGP-4FS-5KW - I don't know what these accessory codes break down to
Flint built car. Hope that helps....

My guess - tinted windows, AC, automatic with console, radio, remote O/S mirror, deluxe seat belts.
Never seen an air conditioned 65 GS convertible though. But I've never seen a white with saddle one either.

Dan - next time you're in Southern California, give me a ring.  I'll give you a ride in my GS convertible with factory air.

Thank you Mark and Dan.

"02B is second week of Feb."
How does that date square with small grille emblem production?

"tinted windows, AC, automatic with console, radio, remote O/S mirror, deluxe seat belts": All that fits with how the car is configured.

"Never seen an air conditioned 65 GS convertible though. But I've never seen a white with saddle one either": Cool, I like the unusual stuff. My '69 Corvette convertible 435-hp automatic car is black with a bright blue interior.
