Reading the VIN??

Did I decipher this VIN right, an '81 T Bird with 302??

1FABP42FXBH159339

I didn't think they offered the 302 in the T Bird in 1981, but I have been wrong before...

From my limited knowledge of the box birds the engine choices were:
1980: 255 V8 STD, 302 V8 OPT
1981: 255V8 STD, 302 V8 OPT, 200 I6 OPT
1982: 200 I6 STD, 232 V6 OPT, 255 V8 OPT
