Default Having issues decoding a trim plate

so maybe this is proof that my eyesight is going, but for a Vette that I'm viewing at, the Trim and Paint codes aren't matching the docs that I have available.

https://image.hmn.com/ixJRNsw3pSXBFH...e/88280000.jpg

Can't seem to find Trim code 418 nor Paint code 978

Could anyone help? It's advertised as a 66 convertible, black interior with what looks like dark green paint
