I'm looking at a 71 El Camino and I need some help decoding the trim tag. Can someone please tell me what this really is? The car is black w/black interior. SB (EA code 1965 327),turbo 350, PS,PB,Tilt,A/C, IN Dash tach and a 12 bolt rear. Has a weird Hurst shifter on the floor that looks like a 4-speed but isn't. Does that look like anything special? He wants 8K but thinks it has a 350 in it...I'm gonna break him the news about the motor after I see what everyone thinks here.

ST 71 13680 K148104 BDY
TR 705
04E 04163 13 13 PNT

VIN is 1 36801K198***

Thanks for helping a 69 Camaro guy out! :D
