Not really sure what to say about that one?

The tag is missing a lot of stuff and some added stuff not sure about.

No model designation - 2FS87
Has a '5' ?????
N - Norwood
267883 - body number
62B - Camel cloth interior
51 - ??? missing an 'A' probably, for A51 - bucket seats
19L 19U - Black upper & lower color
'V' - ???????
5D - probably the date code - 4th week of May
WS4 - TA basically
TN1 - not sure I'd have to check some records
350392 - not clear on numbers - usually date/position codes for Fisher body

Get a copy of the HPP numbers crunch, every year was done in the magazine over the months if you can’t find the pocket book. I’ve asked Don several times to PLEASE re print the book.

The Interior was/is a Custom Cloth Tan, There was 3 tan interiors available and this car has the top of the line Custom Cloth seating.
As is had a 6.6, The WC code engine would be for a 4 speed, and a X7 for a automatic.

I talked to Don years ago and I got the impression that the layouts / print format
is now gone ( publisher) and cost vs buyers was way prohibitive.
That said; At that time he was selling on Ebay as a PDF download file.
PDF is searchable, but the Book, even with its small errors is very handy.

Thanks for the information. I do appreciate your time, and knowledge. Guess the only thing left to do is a road trip.
