Question on trim tag interior code (on trim tag)
I was looking at an ebay ad for a red (code actually says it's a Burgundy color car) 67 GTO. It showed the trim tag on the firewall, and the code for the interior color was "223-S". I've seen "223-B" and just plain "223", but never an "S".
Car is a "P" car (made in Pontiac MI factory) Anyone know what it means? Just wondering.... Dave |
Bench seat? :noidea:

Not saying its the same, but this is from the Chevelle Stuff website
The third information line contains the abbreviation TR (for Trim) followed by a 3-digit number, a hyphen, and a letter indicating the seat type and color. The letter "A" indicates a bench seat, the letter "B" indicates a bucket seat, and the letter "S" indicates head rests. http://www.chevellestuff.net/tech/ar...gs/tt_1967.htm |
I looked through my '67 Brochures and everything seat-related mainly uses number codes, didn't see any letter S. ??

The "S" for head rests makes sense. I do know that 235-c is for a black bench seat interior. And as far as trim tags go, I believe the consensus is that different plants used the tags as they saw fit...some used suffixes after the trim code, others did not.
As some of you know I do casual "paint and trim spotting" as a weird hobby for 67 GTO's. (Initially to get an idea of the popularity of colors available that year). The car in question did show quite a few options in the picture of the billing history card. I don't have the billing history card decoder ring for those codes. (I used to rely on a nice website 67GTO.com (or something) that had all those codes. But they took it down a long while ago. I wish that person would release the website to the wild and let someone take it up.) Thanks for the responses! Dave |
571 = HeadRests with Buckets
572 = HeadRests with Bench 578 = Recliner Bucket with HeadRests Great observation and clarification on the Trim Code Suffix - S Don't think i have ever caught that one before Have a 67 GPrix parts car here that was a HeadRest Bucket car. Will try to remember to check that trim tag sometime , for an S |
Like Dave and the Chevelle website mentioned; not all assembly plants stamped their trim tags the same.

224-R |
oooh , now we even have an R-code
What if a car was Bucket-Headrests-Electric Driver Seat wonder if that got its own code too ? Or would that just fall back under the S-Code (the 67 GP parts car was Bucket-Hrests-Electric Driver ,,, which may not even be coded at all on the Tag - but made me ask the question) |
