Nassa blue with white and blue leather interior coupe AG is the ECL code used with RPO A31 not used with M35 and N03. veery nice car looks to have factory AC which should be in the ECL code

Thanks for the rapid reply, but I am clueless about most of the codes.
ECL?
M35?

Its supposed to be 327/350

The car should be a manual trans car. m35 is the RPO code for a powerglide

Style 437= coupe (467=convertible)
Body S2305: Saint Louis body plant, the 2305th coupe made; an A would indicate A.O. Smith company's Ionia plant. (The S in the VIN indicates St. Louis Corvette assembly plant.)
Trim 451AG: 451= white/blue leather; AG is the ECL code (exceptions code list)
For '65, St.Louis, 451 interior, approx March 16 body date** the AG code indicates power windows (A31) but not auto trans (M35) or 36 gal. fuel tank (NO3)
Paint 900FF is Nassau Blue

**The body build date I put in as 3/16/65 is a guess from what I can read of your VIN number. There should be a body date indicated on the trim tag above the Style line.
