Title: 68 NJ Running Change Survey - Trunk mat
Post by: J_Speegle on May 11, 2020, 05:40:06 PM

Working down the list of running changes that took place during 1968 production at Metuchen as the title states, in this thread I focus on spare tire mounts and hardware versions.

Please share findings from original/unrestored cars and include full or partial VIN's with real or scheduled build cars ( identify please which one your posting) so that they can be sorted and arranged in production order as much as possible. Thanks for attention to the matter at hand.  Once we collect some data we'll see if it can be organized into some identifiable pattern or not. If so  will post that data.

Guess we should collect body style (will be included in the VIN) since supply (fastback verses coupe/conv versions) for one over the other, may come into play.
