Ford Paint Code Information Wanted!

[BGBLOK]

Hey everyone!.. I'm looking for XD owners that have a build date 10 days either side of 5/8/80 on their compliance plate, the purpose is to try to find other XD's built then that may have exactly the same options or build codes. My XD GL S Pac has the YO45 Corporate Blue paint code with B2 black striped wool interior code and is 351/4 speed with the tramp rods although the drivers side one is missing or maybe never fitted?, who knows, it also is a non aircon or power steering car. My letter from Ford doesn't give me a lot of info but with that combination it may not have an exact twin, not ordering power steer or aircon seems odd.
I'd really like to fond photos of an original B2 interior if anyone can help with that?. There must be a couple of people in Oz that really know what's what with XD limited build cars!.
Cheers

Yes - looks like it was not available in 75, in 76/77 stardust pinched the 'V' paint code.

Likely scenario fleet or private buyer really wanted apollo blue and special ordered = Z852 as per Paully's info in the link I provided above.
