Yeah, I'm with Dick that was my question too, how does one decipher the VIN tag # into a build date? Tommy, I do not know how to respond to a PM yet or I would have already thanked you, your friend for your help and thanks to you as well Cecil. So, this car is something else, passenger quarter goes on this week. Craziest thing passenger side trunk, the brace for package tray, attached by spot welds top of inner fender well to bottom of package tray. Heres the crazy part there wasn't one there, like there was on the drivers side and no spot weld seperation evidence of there ever being one there? enclosing some pics. Gotta line on a transmission I am also enclosing pics I believe it to be correct and am wondering what would be a fair price $ range $ for what the photos reveal - guy says gears and synchros appear to be in good shape, assuming they are it will still need a good cleaning and going through - checking , includes linkage, shifter and yoke. Just to the left of the T10 - 1C on the aluminum main case are a stamped G and then a stamped 11 and then a stamped 61, to the right of the T10 - 1C is a stamped B. The G, 11 and B all have circles around them, all but the 61 does not. Based on the stampings and build dates what can be discerned and what can you guys tell me about it... would it be correct for my car. Postman came by, thanks Phil, I will check it out tomorrow....
