Default Need help with 1967 Protect-O-Plate decoding

I am in the process of negotiating the purchase of a 1967 Coupe and need a little help on decoding the P-O-P. Here is a picture which I flipped for easy reading. Thanks in advance for your help.

430 = Dark Green Vinyl
983 = Goodwood Green

T0307IMH decodes as:

T = Tonawanda engine plant
03 = March
07 = 7th day of the month
IM = Is a 67 427/390, 4 speed and K19 (A.I.R.)
H = Holley carb

AU0307W

AU = 3:36 Posi with 4 speed and 427
0307 = March 7
W = Warren assembly plant

194377S113836

1 = Chevrolet
9 = Corvette
4 = V8 Engine
37 = Coupe body
7 = 1967 model year
S = St. Louis assembly plant
1 = GM control number
13836 = 13,836th 67 Corvette built

I'm a little fuzzy on the P7BO2, but I think it decodes as:

P = Muncie transmission
7 = 1967
B = February
02 = 2nd day of the month

Wow, I guess I have to learn to type faster, pmvette beat me in by 6 minutes!

At least it looks like our information agrees!
