So I haven’t picked up the convertible as yet, the weather has not been compliant. I now have title in hand and have begun hauling the parts that were removed from the car when it was a driver. Lots of loose stuff 
.
The vehicle sits in a solid shed on a down hill slope with a gravel drive, so we’re waiting for it to dry out a bit before I call for the rollback to load her up. The hood hinges are off, so it’s a bit of a challenge to snap photos of the cowl tag, but I did manage to read the codes manually.
The PAINT is “918W” which I think translates to Twilight Blue with a White convertible top. The TRIM code is “847” which is Aqua and Vinyl since it’s a drop top bench seat car. There are a pair of ACC codes, Q and X right next to it. Not sure what that represents, but the car now has power windows. Not sure if they are original. Anyone know what those represent? Here’s the best pic I can get at this point:
Note the middle of the cowl tag, between the PAINT and TRIM codes is a “T” and a “10” with a bit of spacing in between. It’s an automatic on the column at this point in it’s life, I guess I need to crawl underneath and see if a factory cut was made for a four speed? Any ideas on what this might represent?
Not sure what the original engine was, but it was a V8. When the previous owner brought it from the East Coast (it’s a Baltimore car) it had a 1960 348 out of a passenger car (250 horse build) and a TH400. Those came along with the car.
Cheers!
