Have you had a chance to do any work or repairs on your beauty since the summer?

Not really, still recovering from the move. I put it away in the garage and now that I am on Christmas leave, I'm working on the restoration plan...ie how I will dismantle and the order I restore things in.

Interesting codes, I can see V20, 21, 22 and 24 no V2 by itself, likewise with R4 - as Graham said they're radio/antenna codes.

I don't suppose the tag left numbers off???

 

[detmatt]

R4 is the same on mine which is AM search tune radio or something along those lines.
I can’t help on the V2.

Usually the V codes were some sort of pin stripe or small side body line decal I think.

IIRC, you PCS'd back to the great white north?

Do you still have awhile to go or are you getting close to retirement?

I went back through this thread, quite the project car you have there. It will be a real beauty when finished.

I have those on mine but they must have been a different code in ‘67.

I don't think it has anything to do with the year, but if you used your car for helping decode Mr C's car, then I can see where you got thrown off. I looked back at your thread about your Crown Coupe and noticed an error on your data tag. It's missing a #2 in the letter code section.

But on your build sheet it does shows the code #2 under Moldings - 542 .

I'm guessing the tag was made after the build sheet and the 2 mistakenly left out.

Thanks Man! My car is a pretty early ‘67, maybe they got it figured out by ‘68.

 

[detmatt]

I have a spare linkage for the auto pilot @Mr C , pay for shipping and it’s yours.

Don’t forget I have this for you Mr C and I may have other things you need as I just bought a ton of mostly ‘67/8 parts.

Yes, I'm back in Canada in the Winnipeg area. Depending on how I play with the numbers (years of service & age) I can work up to another 10 years

nice car I am building one and this one is one of 25 that was special ordered without A/C so I don't have all the junk to fool with .

Have you got one of these in that pile of parts? Mine's missing.
