Hey guys could you please decode this one. I know most of it except for some on the options (last) line. Here goes:
04A B
ST 65-10567 WRN 14834 BODY
TR 773 E-1 PAINT
2M3C4U5W
This one example is pretty rough and it is a parts car only. I may have gotten the "C" wrong in the last line. It was tough to read. Thanks.

Re: 1965 Monza Convertible
Apparently when I type in proper spaces and lines, as shown on the Fischer body tag, it does not come up exactly in my post. I love "technology". Sorry about that but you should still be able to decipher it.

Re: 1965 Monza Convertible
Here is a breakdown of the information on the body tag you provided...04A B
ST 65-10567 WRN 14834 BODY
TR 773 E-1 PAINT
2M3C4U5W
BODY TAG INFO:

The first two digits are numbers 01 through 12, indicating the month of manufacture. The letter is A-E, indicating the week of the month. If the letter is an "A" it indicates the first week of the month.
Interior paint code: B = Blue
65-10567 WRN 14834 BODY
Style: 65 = 1965 10567: 1 = Chevrolet, 05 = Monza, 67 = 2-Door Convertible 4-Passenger,

ACC = Accessory line
When decoding ACC line on the Fisher body tags, be aware that body tags do not include any options that did not require any body modification be done by Fisher. Fisher was only concerned with items that required modifications during the assembly of the body. A good example is that you won’t find Telescopic column listed on the body tag. Although this is a major option, it did not require any special consideration during body assembly.

Re: 1965 Monza Convertible
Thanks for the run down of the body tag information. Everything checks out; the padded dash, deluxe seat belts, retractors and PG transmission. My bad, the interior code is 733, light blue, instead of 773. The car has been repainted since it is no longer in code E, Danube Blue, it is closer to the code D, Mist Blue. Thanks again.

Re: 1965 Monza Convertible
Update: I am going to buy this POS car, (oops, can I write that on here?), before I change my mind. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks when it gets warmer I can drag it home. If you live in east central Wisconsin, please let me know if there is anything on the car that you may want. It is very rough from sitting outside a long time, but all the parts, especially the convertible specific parts are there. More details to follow. Now, if the guy could forget that I am going to pick his car up...
