Don't worry, there's a number of people on here who can decipher these things. Someone will respond soon I'm sure.
One thing I do know is that the "03B" refers to the 2nd week ("B") of March ("03") as the build date for the car. So it was built in March 1961.

Hurst68olds ---Thanks for the information. Do you happen to know if the Accessory code of 493 is for the headlight dimmer option? I have gone through this car and it seems that that is the only thing I can think of that was not standard on the 1961 Starfire's was the headlight dimmer and this one has it....any ideas? Thanks

From the information I have 493 is the code for both options D1 and D3 which are electric antenna and bi-phonic speaker system. This is from the '62 codes which I assume are the same for '61. I have not seen a similar list for '61.
