Thanks again for your valuable time. I think the pictured tag indicates a “20” under the AB confirming the 225 engine, a “3” under the D, also confirming a standard shift 4 speed vehicle. The information I read would translate that the vehicle was delivered Feb. 23rd and the production number was 00078. The V45 indicates conv. The trim “P4X” indicates black interiorand the paint code of HH1 would be a copper poly, kinda like a dark burnt orange or oxblood. Please advise if you agree or if I am way off base. Also, if you have any info on the persons or providers for further investigation on the origin and certification of the vehicle. I believe the vehicle to be an original numbers matching vehicle, even though its a slant six I would like to do a nice restoration and the confirmed originality would be a positive step for me to invest a big chunk of time and money

Here’s a thread on the guy who wrote the book I bought and provides this service, as you will see by reading the thread opinions vary…

Another, really cool thing that I am planning to do is to get copies of the build record and some supporting documentation. This is a volunteer group that does this, and they only charge like $55. The link to their site is below with instructions on how to order your build record. I read an article somewhere (don’t remember) on all the documentation they used to provide (like 15 years ago), however, the email response I got a few months ago stated “due to the volume of requests we receive and the modest staff that we have, we are unable to offer the decoding service and copied material that we have in the past… we will send you the build cards. We will, when possible, provide you with the original selling dealers name and city.”
