The first digit is always T for Toledo (midyear thru '66). It is followed by numbers for MM, DD, then ends with a letter for shift code (D, N). There is no character for model year presented. There is no VIN cast or stamped. For example, my July 13, 1966 build date car, trans pan stamp: T0627D.

here's my original Sept. 1965 PG from my '66. Of course the tranny is in a crate, I currently run an M21. Hope to park the M21 and run a 5-Speed later this year. Plan to keep the PG forever, for a future owner to restore. It's super clean and low mileage. (yes, I kept the shifter, console, kickdown linkage, neutral safety switch, etc)

John is right, all C2's had the Z-bar mount. Wonder why would anyone remove it? Maybe someone had a crazy motor in there. Have the motor mounts been modified? LICS has the bracket for $15. Look in section 28. The rest off the swap is easy, without permanent modification. The clutch and brake pedal assy's are out there used or new. Post a WTB in the parts section here, you might get lucky. 4-speed consoles are readily available. Make sure you get the right Z-Bar, and clutch rod. There are different ones. Enjoy!
