Special Trim tag 9?

[mopar_4life]

Hi,

I just finished decoding my body tag and I found some interesting things out about the car. Like that my car was built on Dec 15, 1964. But one thing that I was wondering about is my trim. My TRM numbers is L9B. Which translates to:
L Low Grade trim Bench (Buckets on Polara)
9 Special Order (Leather and special order)
B Blue Color

The reason I am asking because my car came with two sets of front seats and and a back seat the doesn't match the front.

My car is a 65 Polara 500 Convertible so what does the special order mean. If I order the Build record from http://www.chryslergroupllc.com/company/Heritage/Pages/Build-Records.aspx Will it tell me what was special about it?

Lastly what is the best way to remove about a 1/4 inch of undercoating from my body code plate. I had to scrape off undercoating over the screws and pull it off the body to read the numbers from the back. I figured I would clean it up while I have it off.

Thanks

Eric

There are no records of what the special orders were for a specific car. You could look through sales literature and see if there is mention of special order items.

I have had good luck using a heat gun to remove undercoating.

I use a torch, several widths of flat blade scrapers, and quick reflexes to jump out of the way.

That would be a great gif avatar for you Stan. LOL!

Neither set of front seats match the rear seat? How is the rear seat trimmed ?

Where was your car built?

The 1215 designation on the tag is the body frame date, not the build date of the car. Can be close but are rarely the same.

Nope the rear seat is black and turquoise and both sets of front seats are black.

I don't know where it was built. I didn't know where to tell that. How do I tell?

7th digit of the serial number is the plant code.

Looks like my number is a 3. The Parts book says that it would be built at the Jefferson Detroit plant.
