Edsel,
I got this info from The Classic Cougar Network. If you're not familiar with the site, check it out. It is WELL WORTH the $12 annual fee. Hope this helps -
65a (BODY) = 67 standard
t (COLOR) = Cardinal Red
1d (TRIM) = Standard Dk. Red Crinkle -- All Vinyl
08b (SCHEDUKED BUILD DATE) = 8 February
21 (DSO) = Atlanta
axle2 (REAREND) = 2.79:1 non-locking
tran1 (TRANSMISSION) = 3 Speed MAnual (Std
with 302 2V -- heavy-duty version standard with 390 4V)
