* The letter "P" in group 4 is unknown. This letter appears on Framingham tags throughout the year. This same group 4 "P" code is also found on KC-built Chevelles in group 4 and possibly only in very early builds. Anyone with information on the option code meaning in group 4, please contact me via the Contact tab.
