Default Need Help Deciphering Trim Tag for 1969 Nova SS

I need some help deciphering the body trim tag on the firewall of my 1969 Nova SS big block car. Here is what the trim tag shows:

1st Line: ST 69 11427 WRN201339 BDY
2nd Line: TR 733 10 10 PNT
3rd Line: OJB A 3

If anyone can help me interpret the above trim tag data on my 1969 Nova SS, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Irish

You can go to this website and get all the information you need.

http://novaresource.org/c69.htm

1=Chevrolet
14=Nova V-8
27=2 door sedan
TR=trim: 733=black vinyl buckets
PNT= paint: 10 10= Tuxedo black w/out a vinyl top
A=first week of the month
Not sure what 0JB is or the 3. Are you sure you are reading it corrrect?
Maybe someonelse can help on those codes.

I think the lone "3" on the third line meant that the car had all three molding packages but I am not 100 % certain on this.. Marlin and I were just discussing this on another thread.. Marlin am I correct???

Kurt
Thanks for the info.

It was hard for me to clearly make out the 3rd or last line. After looking at it again, it could be:

018 A 3

does that mean anything? Someone who has restored a lot of Chevies told me that it is 'peculiar' after he personally looked at it.

I think your 8 is a B....01B would be 2nd week of January...the A denotes the interior trim color (black) and the 3 stand for 3 exterior trim accents. Why not post a picture of the car and tag....

Wilma, my wife thought it was an 8 instead of a B but I believe you are probably right. I tried to post a pic of the trim tag but couldn't upload it. I'll try to post a pic of the 69 Nova SS taken back in 1979.
