Thank you for Adding us and our Project Sassy

[SassyPants]

Good afternoon folks. This is the first post of what will be several. My girlfriend and I are restoring a 1966 Coronet 500, Convertible. It is a car that her dad bought in late 66 or early 67 with only a few miles on it from a Dealer. We think it was a " Dealer Demo". The car was driven by the family for several years and then by my girl friend as her high school get around. It then went into a barn in 1983 only to next see the light of day some 6 months ago when it came to our house. It is a rare bird, I think. All original with of course the normal maintenance items replaced. So, it is arguably a one owner car (I guess now two owner with Dad and now Daughter). Our goal is to take her back to Original Condition condition like she came off the show room floor (ish). Pretty neat piece. We call her Sassy. I look forward to the Forum as we face the long resto project of taking her down to the Nuts for a quality restoration. We WILL need some help along the way. So, thanks in advance.

It's geared toward Chargers, but most of the codes are the same.

I'm on my 4th 66/67 Coronet, and now have two 67 Belvederes as well.

So, if I can read this correctly, it is a 64, Console Car, Bucket Seats, Check. P6 which is remote Mirror on Drivers side, Check, U1, Someone ordered the car, so Special Order, Whatever that means?

Then it is a AB51 which is a big block 361 (it has a 2 barrel on it), and is C4 which is a 4 speed, Check. It is an R1, 2 watt AM Radio, check. Then at the end of that line is a 2 under Y, got any idea what that means?

On the Bottom line it starts out 401, but what does that mean? Then the number of the car. Then Body WP27, Suppose that is Convert? Then TRM is P4X?? any guesses on that one? and finally Paint is PP1 which is Bright Red followed by B for interior Black, Check.

So, got still a couple of things to figure out. I have had the car up on the rack and it has Posi Rear, I know that. What might P4X mean and what does the 2 under Y mean in the second line?. What does the 401 mean start of the Bottom Line, if anyone knows? Finally, there is a Star punched in just above the "Paint Code", any ideas on that? Thanks in advance.

Right out of the Barn. Need to figure out how to do a steering Wheel Repair and take some pitting off the Chrome on the Console and the Back Trunk Molding. Any ideas on those problems?

I got the DeCode questions answered in the General Discussion Forum. Thanks to all. Sassy appreciates the looks. By the way, if you need a pic of an Original whatever, let me know. This car is as original (except for the front seat covers) as they come. Happy to help if I can.

Best,

361 4 speed convertible...pretty odd.

Cool.

P4X is interior in black.
