ST 71 13669 B(or8?)340267 BDY (a #5 over BDY)
TR714 62 62 PNT

Strange to me, this car have a big block and 12 bolt rear end, kinda strange for a 4dr, at least here. graemlins/clonk.gif

The car is said to be numbers matching, can the engine numbers tell if it came with a 402ci? Was that an option on a 4 door?

Baltimore GMAD often hand stamped a number in the upper right hand corner of the the trim tag. Its possible an inspection ID?

B 0738 is part of the DP Sequence Number from Box 24 on the build sheet. Its production scheduling info and means nothing about the car.

Yes, a 4 dr could get a 402 engine. There would be a matching partial VIN on the engine block where the engine code is located.
