Dave
327/300 hp, manual
This trim tag has
D15 at the top
TRIM 491N (no second letter)
PAINT 916A
The VIN is: 40867 S 116546

More interesting: The body build is D15, the engine stamp pad is 4116546 F0420RD.
The current owner has owned for 38 years and is now having it restored.

Well you've officially stumped me.
A had no idea it would be so confusing try and figure out this puzzle.
My car has been in the family since new so I can vouch for it being original from the factory (at least until I get the new carpet installed, which is sold as "Silver carpet").
But since mine's a coupe and has a different code designator than yours, I have no idea any more.

I agree that it probably was silver (gray) carpet originally, but he is going back with new dark blue carpet.
