Title: Nice paper work collection on this 1968
Post by: 68 Ragtop on September 20, 2015, 06:23:35 PM
Nice original looking paper work on this 1968 convertible.

It's not often you see window sticker, POP, Body and chassis broadcast sheets all together.

Interesting that the trim tag is 01D and the engine is 0209. Any explanation?

The date on the body tag is not the build date for the car; it is the week Fisher Body released the order to production. Released orders can remain in queue if a material shortage or capacity constraints dictate.

01D likely spanned January 27-February 2, possibly longer as there were no 02A or 02B tags from Fisher body.

I see other nearby (VIN) cars with that same engine date.
It came out of TX back in 2005.

Whats your opinion on the paperwork? Is it all legit? I cant imagine faking a base V8 210 HP PG car.

How common is it to have these 4 different documents all for the same car?

The paper appears correct, I went over it and compared the POP with the Broadcasts and the Window and see nothing out of place. the colors engine and trim are all correct across the board. It had FC's as indicated by the Chassis Bcast. Lemans Blue and white D90 stripe rally sport console all on the broadcast.


FWIW that is a pretty well equipped car. The paint could be salvaged much better than you would believe. The seat covers are terrible reproductions, if the door panels are reproductions you would want to find a set of original seats and door panels however the carpet is original, the sun faded areas give it away.

Docs are original.
Car was complete but tired. A guy bought it from the original owner, put in a new int and top, and flipped it.
