1966 Cutlass VIN/TAG Question
Hello everyone! I am looking at a 1966 Cutlass convertible and trying to decipher the numbers online without a lot of success. The Cutlass currently is a convertible with Red exterior and black interior. I am not able to decipher the "Interior code of 980-B" or the "Option Codes of W 2X" or the "5Y" or "N-2". Can someone please help??? Hopefully my 2 attachments of the door/cowl plates are viewable but below is the info.
Cowl numbers:
07D 4
66-33867 LAN11094
980-B N-2
W 2X
5Y
The door plate numbers are: 338676M432078
Thanks in advance for your help!!!

07D is the 4th week (D) of July (the 7th month.)
66-33867 is a 1966 Olds A body code, probably Cutlass Convertible.
LAN11094 is a Lansing Michigan plant serial number
980-B is your trim code. N-2 is color N lower body paint, 2 top color, which means ragtop of some color.
Your codes are: Group 1: W
Group 2: X
Group 5: Y.
5Y is deluxe seat belts. X I think is a transmission type.
Others will finish for me.

The paint code N-2 indicates that the color is Burgundy Mist and the top should be black.
Group 1-W indicates Tinted Glass windshield only A02.
Group 2- X indicates Auto Trans Column shift.
Group 5- Y indicates Deluxe front and rear seat belts.
66-33867 is Cutlass Convertible
980-B is your trim code ia Black Vinyl with Strato bucket seats.
My car is a 66 Cutlass, convertible, Lansing car VIN338676M225198, Build date of 01-A, JAN 66 week 1. My Lansing plant serial number is 3556. My paint code is R-1 so it was Target Red with a white top, 980-B Black Vinyl Strato Bucket seats. It has had a black top for 30 years. This picture shows Target Red. Burgundy Mist is darker. Hope you get your car and post some pictures.

Thanks, I like it even though my goal originaly was Lucerne Mist (light blue). Target Red really grows on you.
Target Red on 65 and 66 Cutlass/442 was (R) paint code. Burgandy Mist was (N) code on 66 and 67. (N) code in 68 was just called Burgundy.
