Earlier, I referenced the fact that this car came with an automatic transmission and yellow paint. So how do I know that? 

She has a nametag (Technically it’s called a data plate):

That says:

65A 8 29 01T 72                           6 6

Broken down:

65A – 1965   Hardtop, Standard Interior, Bucket Seats
8 –  Springtime Yellow (65 only)

29 –  Palomino Vinyl Interior

01T – June 1, 1965 (Production Date)

72 – San Jose, CA (Production Factory)

6 –  2.80 Rear Axel Diff

6 – Automatic Transmission

The remaining numbers (5R07/C22 88) are a little harder to interpret:

5R – 1965 San Jose

07 – 2-Door Hardtop

C –  289 CID

(She has a 4 barrel carburetor now)

Not totally sure what 22 and 88 mean….

Our takeaway here is that almost nothing about this car is factory original! Yay!

LET’S KEEP IN TOUCH!

I’d love to inundate you with inanity!
