See info above

705/706 - Black Elk Coated Fabric/Coated Fabric
78 78 - Rosewood top and bottom color

I think these are factory specific codes (?)

CPA is the correct code for a 454/365hp w/manual transmission.

I don't think there's a real way to tell the SS from 69-71 without a build
sheet.  There are options to look for but anyone building a clone would
probably include those as well.  Check out

explanation.
