Kenth that old chart is flawed.
It's a cheat sheet made from Chevy codes , most work , some don't.
It's posted everywhere from Chevelle sites to GTOAA site.
John V. already debunked most of the debunkers on the list.

1 O is the belt line divider molding ,,,, 2tone/vinyl top

2 P is Back Up Lamps
Pontiac didn't code for Radio

3 P is Padded Dash (former mystery code)

5 O is Seatbelt Delete
5 W is deluxe seatbelts
5 Z is Standard seatbelts

Will post some debunks over the next few days.
Working on several other Pontiac assignments right now.
And the site is giving me a fit today.

Quick and Easy debunk of 2P

This car was sparsely optioned , so it's easy to deal with.

John V. was having trouble authenticating 3P as padded dash.
Lack of study samples.
A couple of specimens on BaT lately proving out 3P as padded dash.

Also some seatbelt specimens to debunk the mixed up 5 O and 5 Z codes

That list should be banned , and a correct list reconstructed and distributed.
BaT uses that list too , and ignore corrections.

They were working when first posted.

I recently submitted a 1964 GTO, Kansas City car.... PHS advised that they couldn't tell me all options because chevrolet controlled KC plant in 64, would I like to proceed? I asked well my determination (for what to do) on this car is whether it is a real tri power car or not, has a 5N, so I know it is GTO.... They elaborated yes, they can tell/know drive train but also 5N does not dictate GTO... They didn't elaborate on the reasoning...

I did proceed with them, car is a 4bbl, real GTO.... but it leaves me questioning what is the exception or an example of a 5N lemans out of KC(?)

I would imagine they meant that the cowl tag does not make it a "GTO"
It is very easy to swap a GTO tag on a car and call it a 'GTO'.

I agree with John .
A swapped trim tag - or reproduction trim tag - could skewer reality on a 64-65 from KC or PMD plant.

On a pure virgin car , the 5N rule holds true though.

The option codes on KC car manifests don't all match up with PMD order sheets.
PHS doesn't have the proper glossary to decode all the options.
John V. created a proper glossary for them.

Sounds like you are passing on the car.
Hope you find the right one you are looking for.
