1967 Buck tag "Top-3" Code and other questions????
« on: February 15, 2016, 08:55:01 PM »
Good evening,

I was only able to decode what the buck tag code"top-3" meant on a German website which was "color tan power convertible top" for my 67.

Also, did red interior cars ("2D" code) only come with red carpet/red convertible top boot or did they come with black carpet/black top boot as well?

Could some please confirm that?

Thank you all so much!!!

Every original red interior I've seen had red carpet.

Without any documentation indicating this was original to the car (highly doubtful), this would certainly not be the "norm"

After all these years  it possible that an earlier owner just installed a black carpet because it was available or for some other reason. You would need to inspect the carpet to confirm it was original to start the investigation IMHO
