FRED graemlins/beers.gif The "11458" is the Fisher Body unit number and has nothing to do with the VIN. Trim should have three numbers, not two, but it's probably 766 for black buckets. The paint "PP" is Seafrost Green.
The VIN verifies a 13837 Atlanta-built 68 SS hardtop and the VIN of 150xxx is the sequence number of that particular car at Atlanta for the 68 model year with the sequence starting with #100001.
The engine is a warranty or over-the-counter purchase - C is for Chevrolet, E is for Engine and 078554 is the sequence number for that engine. Looks like a Tonawanda built engine late in the production run for 1970.
