2L designation means 4 speed on every gm tag.

yes, that is true. I dont know where that "B3" comes from in the earlier post.

Re: 65 BUICK WILDCAT 4SPD CONVERT
 

In my paperwork, Buick's code for a 4-speed is B3. That's the code by the box where you check on the order form.

Now what's this "2L" code that supposedly appears on dataplates? Even '69 GTOs have this?

Re: 65 BUICK WILDCAT 4SPD CONVERT
 

The 2L code only applies until 1967 as far as I know. Are there any hidden vins on a 65 to at least tell if the VIN is original to the car?

This car was on eBay a few weeks ago. Evidently was a no-sale.

Things were weird at the inspection today. After verifying the VIN did not match the motor, the sad owner pulled out a warranty book with yet ANOTHER VIN number on the protect -0- plate !!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif The vehicle was originally blue https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gifupon inspection (trim tag says green) and there was no mounting bracket for the four speed console, https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif it was sheet metal screwed in to the floor. It was an X code correct 425 dual quad motor, https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif but not from this car. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif After giving the owner my report he ‘kind of slumped in a chair in the office. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif He says he paid 18,000 five years ago. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif That’s the first bad investment in a muscle car I’ve seen in twenty years. Maybe its insured well and he can leave it out somewhere. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Oh, and when was the last time you got to stab a 4000lb dual quad 4spd. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif
I recommend doing it often if you can. !! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

thanks everyone for your help.
