Mine is also a Lynch road car, we’re the tags in a different spot coming from Lynch road?
Funny enough, the previous owner also believes the tag walked off during a repaint of the car.
I mean it’s more about getting a stamp of approval from someone/company who is trusted and respected in the community (not saying that’s Govier at this point)
but the fact is I’m a nobody, nobody cares about my opinion. But there are people/companies everyone trusts and agrees with. So if said...
Oh wow, so the feeling towards GG on here are pretty mutual. I have no attachment to GG and more than happy to go elsewhere. I just wanted to do it right.
In my effort to document the car while I still have the supporting documents I wanted to go through a respected source. I understand the...
In talking with them they said they would decode the car and give me a list of options and rarity of it against the others on his registry, then certify it and add it to the registry, and lastly create a new tag for it. The quote was about $500 for all of the above. Seemed fairly reasonable to me.
Hmm, idk I have been talking to them almost daily sending pics and info and we’ve talked in detail about what they can do. They very clearly stated as long as my info checks out they would decode the car, certify it, put in on his registry and then make a new fender tag for it.
But this was...
lol in my endless days of research this certainly isn’t the first time I’ve heard people say GG doesn’t get back to you.
But I’ve also seen quite a few people say he does as long as your car is interesting and he likes it.
He’s been calling me every single day and sending constant emails, so...
To me it’s redundancy, yes right now I have all the documentation to back up the car, but life happens sometimes and you never know what’s going to happen.
The BS is going on 60 years old, it’s worn and tattered, I removed it, took a bunch of photos, framed it and put it in my safe. But god...
Just curious what the community thinks of the practice of building new fender tags.
I have a 68 GTX, 440hp/4spd car that’s very nicely optioned. But it’s missing the original fender tag, I thought I had a line on the original by reaching out to previous owners and one owner swore he thought he...
Awesome thank you! Just the answer I needed. I quite like the 69 grille over the 68 and would keep it if I’m able to make everything else 68 correct. But if keeping the 69 grille meant running a whole 69 front end I’d change it. And digging through the forums I was getting mixed info, some...
Ok so then it looks like it’s just 69 fenders and grille, with a 69 grille support and latch?
But the hood and everything else appears to be 68 then? Like I said I’m trying to decide whether it’s worth taking back to 68 parts.
And would you say this rad core support is the factory 68 rad...
A little off subject, but do you know if there are any differences between 68 & 69 fenders/hood other than the marker lights?
a previous owner at some point put 69 fenders and grill on the car (probably just what they could find) so I was curious if it was worth sourcing correct 68 fenders...
Yes this makes perfect sense. “Track pack” wasn’t a real “stamped” package until 69+. But for all intents and purposes, mine is exactly what a track pack is.
Its like in 68 someone custom built a track pack with the sales options. And in 69 Chrysler went “hey let’s just sell that combo as a...
Absolutely, I’ll take a look when I get home. The car does have 69 fenders and grille but the core support is original so I would assume the latch assembly is all original as well.
Ohhh ok that makes sense! That was going to be my next question is what the “Build Codes” at the bottom of the BS reference.
So the top half references the sales codes that someone would option out when buying the car.
The bottom half “Build codes” would reference what actual part was used for...
Ok so I feel like an idiot.
It just clicked in my head how the codes work….
So I’ve been trying to match codes to my “stamped” numbers and nothing freaking matches.
But literally the light bulb just went off that
Line number + stamp number= code.
For example at the top of my BS, for the...
Well that all lines up then, row 451 and 456 are both blank and front brake code is 25.
So, with all the info you’ve given me and from the other comments I guess it’s safe to call it a Track Pack car, since by default, a 440/4spd was a Track pack car at minimum.
But with that said, does...
Ah thanks so much for all this info but this is one I was also curious about, it didn’t come with a console and wasn’t sure if it should/would have one.
Ok let’s see if these are any better, I also posted an excel spreadsheet I typed out further up in the comments if that helps.
So if I’m understanding correctly from the couple comments, a 68 440/4spd car by default would be a Track Pack car. As the Dana 60 was the only option for that. So by...
