Chevelles from 1964 - '72 have a small strip of paper, about 2 inches wideby 8 inches long or a square about 5 inches by 7 inches that is usuallyburied in the cotton stuffing of the rear seat, in the backrestof the front seat, or drivers bucket. If you are lucky enoughto find this, (the mice usually have other plans for it) thenphotocopy it immediately and put it back, the last thing you wantis to lose it after having it right under your butt for so long.If you make a copy and replace it you are ensuring that the nextguy (hey, we all know you plan on keeping this one forever!)can enjoy the thrill of "finding" this original documentation.Build sheets usually confirm what the Cowl tag willtell you, but in more depth.
Build sheets consist of the following information:
The model number, starts with 1 followed by 4 or more numbers.eg 13867.
A pair of letters will designate the paint code.
A three number series will designate the interior.
A series of one letter and two numbers indicates the factoryinstalled options.
If you can find your build sheet, then just look up the codesin the available lists and you'll know for sure what your caroriginally came with. No arguments.
These numbers decode as follows:
