Perfect! This is the answer I was really looking for. 100% agree.
Engine - I'll look for the date stamp on the passenger side of the block. If it's prior to 19 May 66 (for my car) I'll say it's original.
Transmission - nothing to look for.
The build sheet, VIN tag, IBM build card, and fender...
Hey guys,
For 1966, is it true that if you have a 66 Dodge or Plymouth and are trying to see if the engine and trans are the same ones that came with the vehicle originally, you won't find a number matching on the engine block, trans housing, and VIN? I've looked through the threads trying to...
Yeah, that was never a thought!
I actually have a different thread basically asking “what’s wrong with this picture?” so getting info like this here is fine and dandy. This thread was trying to decode exactly what the fender tag and VIN are saying.
Many thanks for calling out what you see as...
Perfect! That’s what I was trying to find.
I wasn’t buying the green color as being correct. It’s relatively freshly done so I don’t have any plans to attack it to correct it but, if my investments can come back around and I get a burr up my butt for correctness I understand now what correct is...
Okay, so I’m back at it.
Yes, the fronts rub only on the chrome trim but I can pull the crank away from it (for the most part) as I crank it over the trim. Less than ideal.
Yes, there are very thin black plastic washers but don’t know that they actually do anything to help. Curious if I can...
Right. The upholstery is accurate to me.
It’s all the green that I think is inaccurate.
According to all I’ve found, everything I have that’s green is supposed to be a gold, citron gold and or white.
I’m fairly certain they wouldn’t have put in white carpet in but I’m just guessing on what...
Yeah. I visited it and got some answers. Just trying to find out exactly how the inside would have looked as built. Don’t see green as an interior color option for a gold 66 Coronet.
It’s in great shape and looks fine. Just trying to determine accuracy.
Thanks @dadsbee We’re in agreement that the car didn’t come off the line with a green interior (although I didn’t know it for certain when I started this thread) but I’m still not clear on how it should look to be accurate.
According to the pocket sales brochure it can come trimmed inside in...
I’m really trying to solve for the green interior. I know what you mean about ZZ1. I’m okay with it just being semantics between the sales brochure and the paint chip sheet. But green interior parts for a ZZ1 paint might be the wrong answer for my car. Trying to learn what it rolled off the line...
I figured out where I read “Citron”, it’s on a sales brochure.
What’s odd is that this thing doesn’t show any green colors (like mine) available for the interior. The options supposedly were Black, White, or Citron Gold. If true then this could mean that the green interior I have in mine is...
I had heard or read “citron” somewhere for this car as well, can’t recall where. So that’s the color of the vinyl! Perfect. A little more solved.
P was probably the method of annotating it as premium or that it’s for a 500. Doesn’t look like they actually call out 500 anywhere.
So I think I have decoded most but not all.
