Just as an FYI, I have the M20 Muncie from 7L137175 and it is stamped P7T06 (Dec 6, 1966).

Many thanks!

You have done an amazing job at decoding this car; assuming most of it is correct. One question; why are you putting so much effort into a First Gen that doesn’t have a numbers matching transmission? If I were looking for something in Switzerland to be shipped to the United States, my first requirement/priority would be; is it a fully documented numbers matching drivetrain?  By looking at your post, one would think this is very important to you as well.

And...what Mike said X2 about the E-Pad.

Hi

Thanks for your compliment and your legitimate questions i appreciate that.

- It is not easy to finde a full documented car.
- Money ;-) Top matching cars are expensive
- I decided that minimum 1 Drivetrain Part has to match, in my case is the engine.
- i dont live in the USA, so ist is very difficult to find a car over the sea from switzerland.

Regards
André

Welcome Andre'

  Does the partial engine VIN match the hidden VIN? Look below the windshield area under the cowl vent panel closely for the stamped hidden VIN.
What is the block casting date? Can you post pictues of the engine pad?

Mike

Hi Mike

I will check that as soon as i can. I will travel to Destin FL at 09/07/2012 where my car is waiting.
thanks for the hint.

André

Welcome, I am a semi-neebie, and very happy to be a part of this forum.
I have to say, as I have said in the past, I am not an expert in THIS field by any shape of the word. And doing my best to learn as much as possible. AND be able to retain it.

 But this cowl tag is not looking right to me. I hope I am wrong. William, Paul, Mark, JohnZ, Marty and all the guys will straighten it out as soon as they chime in. I wish interested parties sent pictures and check in BEFORE they buy. Again, don't panic, you will know very soon.... Danny

I've sent Ed a PM asking him to look at this.
I've got a question about the rivets.
Like Danny, I'm only saying this needs a closer look.

hi, many thanks, i appreciate your help, but i hope you are wrong and the cowl is OK ;-)
