It seems that all of the markings discussed are PINK for Metuchen built cars equipped with 289 and 200 engines. Would this be the same for Dearborn built cars of the same timeframe?

A number of the "sightings" were from San Jose also

Charles may have found same on a dearborn he did years ago but will leave it to him to confirm or say no

Thanks.  That would be nice to know for my car and I bet a few other people on the Forum.

All 3 of my unrestored Dearborn cars have pink on the U bolts. One is Aug 64 and the other two are June 65.

mgmradio: Are the pink daubs on top of the "U"  like tomtri66 and outlaw or on the back leg of the bolt like ChrisV289? Thanks

Mine are on the back leg not the top. Look at the pics in post #1

ChrisV289: Sorry, I changed my post so now it is correct.

Dearborn cars: U-Bolt pink marking on the top or the legs? thanks.

My Aug 64 Dearborn car has them on the leg.

Thank you, pink on the legs. Appreciate the help. It's a nice detail to add.
