1965 Olds Starfire - Data Plate Decipher

A 1965 Olds Starfire I am considering for potential purchase has the following information on the data plate - could someone help decipher what this is saying? I have a decoder for Buick, but not Olds. Here is what is looks like:

GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION
09A B
ST 65-36667 LAN 12 BODY
TR 345-B R-1 PAINT
ENTS 2KTR
5W
BODY BY FISHER

The VIN is: 366675M109703

I tried organizing the spacing to match the plate, but the formatting in this forum eliminates spaces to create a better view.

Can anyone help me with this?

Here is a photo of the data plate. The right side isn't particularly clear, but I think I got it listed properly in the first post.

This view shows the right side far more clearly. Hope this helps with what the "B" might mean.
