AB=30 273 V8 2bbl
D=5 Torqueflite trans
E=1 A/C with heater
Q=1 AM radio
SO NUMBER=C14 Scheduled delivery March 13th 1965
BDY=L31 V8, 2-door sedan, midline trim (270)
TRM=H1T Tan interior
PAINT=WY2 Y Medium tan metallic exterior, white roof. I'm not sure what the extra Y means.

Y is the code for tan. Sometimes, an extra letter under paint can code for a stripe on the side (though the Dart 270 doesn't have a painted stripe), or a different color on the top of the inside door (though with tan inside and out, it should have tan on the doors already).

the car haas been repainted with a flat tan does anyone have pictures of a WY2 Painted car ?
 
when the tops were painted were they painted all the way down the windshield pillars ? I have never seen a painted top like this?

Typo on the SO number, C14 is March 14th, not the 13th.

For the side stripe, I'm talking about something like this Dodge where the red stripe is painted, not just part of the trim.
