Here's a couple more for reference.

One looks like it could be the number "3" similar to the number punches used for a period at Dearborn for the inspector stickers -

If your car holds more interesting original features feel free to share them too.  Looks like the sealer at the washer nozzle is still there too. I'm guessing your car pretty original?

I think the car has many orig. features. Shows 44k [PO swears it's orig. mileage, his father bought it used in 1966] on the odometer and has been off the road since 1973.I have lots of photos but don't know where they would belong here
 The biggest problem with the car is it's been in Ohio it's entire life. Heavy surface rust on the entire undercarriage but still really solid. I think most would call it a garage find.It's going to be a fun one for sure. K code Fastback non-GT w/ vin stamped block and toploader. I could NOT pass it up, it was calling my name!
here's a pic to start the ball rolling. You'll notice the drivers door is hit hard, The fellow I bought the car from did that with a 70 Boss 302, to his Dad's car no less ! Door never was repaired but I did get a red-oxide nos door skin with the car.

Start a topic in "Member Restorations/Builds ", it will be interesting to see more pictures of this car.  ;) 

If you find a specific item of interest, check to see if it has been discussed before and feel free to add to the topic or start a whole new topic.

My 65 coupe came out of Ohio and is a rusty original car too. Unfortunately it's not just surface rust! I can see how you couldn't pass this car up, despite the wear and tear, hard to find in this original condition.

Looking forward to seeing pictures in a new topic.  Thanks for sharing!

The punch designs are similar to punch-outs on buck tags... could be a correlation between them.
My buck tag has no punched holes. Image is passenger side, no tag on driver side
