Hi Guys,
I hope everyone had a great holiday!

I need help decoding the following
N97 R11 V21 V8X Y14 END
L31 M21 N41 N85 N96
C16 C55 G36 J55 J78 J81
V4X U A01 A45 A87 B51
EL5 M6T7 GT8 416 073558
E65 D32 RM23 N1E 150XXX

Lots of stuff on one tag!

Anyway, does someone have the information that would help me decide on an interior? I seem to have missplaced my little red book of information.

Thanks for the help.

Dennis

Hey Dennis
Decode below. Going from memory, so some of the terminology may not be exact. I'll see if I can find a pic of the correct brown interior. If I don't already have it, I'd love to get a photo of that fender tag.

T7 brown bucket interior....dash pad color is incorrect and your car would have different door panels. Tuff steering wheel is optional (would show on the build sheet)

One more cool thing I didn't notice until Eric ripped out all that great information by memory is that the car was scheduled to be built one day before my first birthday........

Opps! After closer inspection it's 4/19/70 which is actually my little sister's birthday.

I have to make a correction. After looking at the book for the N97 code (I wasn't sure if I stated it correctly), it indicated CA noise reduction package, not emissions.
