Lets Play A Game: Last Of The Convertibles
- Thread starter 67valiant 100
- Start date
Thanks to @70 Sport Suburban and @71Polara383 we have DL27L0D148934 -- a 1970 Polara 'vert currently for sale as a parts car in MI. Thanks also to @detmatt for alerting FCBO members to the car, and for posting pics of this poor ragtop here.
The SBD of this 1970 Polara 'vert was October 31, 1969 -- the same as that of Regina, my FQ3 Polara 'vert.
From the FB ad, we learn that "It's in some woods in Pinckney MI. I got it in a deal with some another car. This is one of 842 convertibles made in 1970. This one is pretty much junk. The rear-end is broke lose the trunk floor is separated from the quarters. It's been sitting for more than 30 years the way it is."

Just plain sad! 
Do you have a copy of the fender tag and/or build sheet, by any chance?
Thanks to @Samplingman and @sevnt300 for posting the VIN and tag of a DR8 300 'vert that @sevnt300 owned for many years before selling it. CM27T0C165451 was last seen in Colorado several years ago. The photos with @Samplingman and his better half date back to the nineties, the last photo is the last known one of the car:
What part of Colorady?

PM27G0D153543 has an SPD of 6 November 1969 and retired in South Carolina.
It's barely readable:

Here's Big red maybe selling her and my 68 soon just put duals on the 70 it ride great everything works what month wass mine produced?
@straightjob You're car has an SPD (scheduled production date) of A13, October 13th 1969.
Can you post a picture of the drivers door sticker? That would tell us when the car came off the assembly line and what the actual production date ended.
Great looking car !!

Sure I have to awake it from its slumber thanks for the info
hope this is it!
Awesome! It does appear that CM27T0C142447 was on time during the build process. No delays in her birth.
Yes it is -- thank you for the VIN tag. If memory serves, you bought this ER6 red 300 'vert in Mesa, AZ: did the previous owner share any of the car's history with you?
Thank to the high-res photo that you sent me, I get the following -- do you see the same, including a T-VON?

Thank you so much! It’s so hard to decipher!
Yes, that looks like a T-VON. What does it stand for again?
I go with M85 as this indicates front and rear bumper guards and the rear bumper actually has the horizontal rubber strips. L35, on the other hand would indicate cornering lights, which the car does not have.
As for the Y-code I’d say it’s Y05 “Built to Specifications for USA Order”.
I actually think that the Y code may be Y24, which often goes with the T-VON as per this post by @69CoronetRT
