qwertyme77 - what was the builddate of your car? By air, you mean AC, right?

T-Bone - AC on your car? What's the complete build date?

kcracing - do you know what engine originally was in your car?

Thanks guys!

Didn't realize you were interested in 69 data.
69 2D 307 powerglide not finned front or rear not power no a/c

1968 Norwood-built, 04A, 6 cylinder, manual brakes, no fins front or rear. I am the second owner and have owned the car since 1988 so I know the drums are the originals.

68 12E finned front and rear owned since 1974 non power brakes no ac small block ...manual trans

Two cars finned in the rear, all others are unfinned.
All SS's have finned fronts so far. So I broke out the SS's to help see the other data.

Compiled by date, engine, front / rear drums, and comments: manual or power brakes or AC.

The car I referred to early on was an ss 350.  I don't have any of the data on it but I do have a bad picture of the cowl tag.  Did I send that to you before to try and read it?

[KurtS]

I don't recall, but it sounds like I don't need it.
