1965 build sheet question
 

I have searched this forum, but have not seen this particular question addressed.

On the build sheet for my 1965 Impala Super Sport, which I found stuck in the front passenger seat springs, there are a number of options listed. Several of these have an asterisk next to the RPO number. Here is a picture of the build sheet:

My question: were these specific items (with the asterisk) included as part of the SS package? Like the bucket seats, wheel trim covers, tachometer (for the L74 engine), back-up lights, and a few others. I have been told that the tachometer was a standard item with the 327/300.

If this question seems familiar to some of you, it's because I also posted it on another (Chevrolet) forum. I'm sure some of you old hands will know the answer. Thanks!

Nice looking Regal Red..
Throughout the years,I know they used:
% to indicate Trim Shop.
# to indicate Body shop.
* to indicate Std. equipment.
The '65 SS Impala was a seperate model within the Impala series,so looking at your options,I'd say yes..they all seem in line with your specific model as well as the Super Sport option too in '65.
In general,* meant included with this vehicles body style,so not all are specifically Super Sport related.
All '65 Impala Super sports got full instruments,and because you have a manual trans.,your tach makes sense as they replaced the std.vacuum gauge with a tachometer on M/T equipped cars with 300 HP or more.

Neat car. I have a copy of a build sheet from a 65 Impala 4dr sedan from that dealer. Doraville car like yours. Is there something stamped in ink on the sheet in the top right where the last six of the vin would be? Looks like three letters? What is the vin? I'd like to add to the car to my 64-70 fullsize chevy database.
