03C ~ March, 3rd week
68 ~ model year
13867 ~ SS convertible
KAN ~ Kansas City assembly plant
045 ~ Fisher Body unit number
TR 756-3 ~ Med. Gold Imitation Leather (bucket seats) (are you sure the '3' isn't a 'B'?)
O2 should be the paint codes but there is no paint code for 'O' - maybe 'C' for Ermine White or 'D' for Grotto Blue lower color and '2' for a black convertible top? With a gold interior, I'd guess 'C' for Ermine White.

I find O is shown as Corvette Bronze metalic. Corvette code is 992.

I'd like to know if the paint code is 'O' (oh). Why would a Corvette paint color code be on a Chevelle if the trim tag doesn't show a special paint with a dash character - especially with a U.S. built Chevelle? Bronze Metallic with a gold interior would be a weird combination IMO :eek:

2 can mean black vinyl top.
