    Thanks Bill. Outstanding info! Turbine Bronze Metallic, nice. Ever seen one of these gauges before? If it is not stock, it looks 50 years old...

    OK..., well that makes the most sense so far. Thanks a heap 69CoronetRT! The assumption that, the presence of a number/letter/combo under the heading means the car has those components & the number/L/c itself is foreign to us outsiders, sounds like it is close to fair then. tilt/telescopic...

    Thanks but, I can't seem to understand how the web page and the sheet line up. Rear spring left 354, rear spring right 354, dual exhaust under # 390 = "0", not sure what the "0" signifies..... etc.

    Behind the back seat. Never thought I would find one since the fender tag is gone. Needless to say, I'm stoked. Car(Rupert) is flying back together, might look OK with the grill blacked out... What do you think?
