67 fastback decklid
« on: May 26, 2024, 09:53:50 AM »
Found this 67 fastback decklid stashed in the back of  a van, not down by the river, but in a junkyard. 

I noticed that there was a J-nut installed on the hinge in a location that would appear to limit the opening of the lid.  See the second picture, highlighted in red.

No evidence of respray - nut has original color paint on it.

Hardly a common place to get a picture when installed on a vehicle.  There's probably only one person I'm aware of that would get a shot of this area. You know who you are lol.

Probably a Dearborn car due to the Michigan location, but that is of course no guarantee.

Number of years have a different cross cut shape for fastback trunks when compared to coupe/convertible. Unfortunately the service parts are often not like originals and because of that reproductions were wrong also.
