Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 I bought this in 2003 as a pretty nice daily driver. The original lime gold paint was faded, the headliner and front seat upholstery was faded/slightly ripped, the carpet was worn , and there was minimal rust under the old vinyl top and bottoms of quarter panels. History Original owner purchased on January 6th 1968 in Wheaton, Maryland; but lived in Novato, California since at least 1983 (from original owners manual & receipts). I found this for sale at a local Longs Drug parking lot from a guy who bought from the original owner to restore, but needed money so sold to me. He never registered – I am the second registered owner.Codes 65A I 2G 05M 17 6 1 Body = 65A = Hardtop Standard; Paint Color = I = Lime Gold; Interior Trim = 2G = Ivy Gold Vinyl Buckets Date of Production = 05M = December 5th 1967; District that ordered the car = 17 = Washington, D.C Rear Axle Code = 6 = 3.20 to 1 ratio; Transmission Code = 1 = 3 speed manual transmission VIN Identification 8 T 01 T 122906 8= Model Year = 68; T= Assembly Plant = Metuchen NJ 01 = Body Code = Hardtop T = Engine Type = 200 1V; 22906 = production number Cosmetic work that was done Proper Paint jobRemoved Everything - Windshield, Rear Window, Bumpers, Chrome, Fender Extensions, Hood, Trunk Lid, etcRemoved doors and replace hingesSanded, primed, repainted entire car and fender extensions – used top quality primer, base paint, and clear coat.
