Charles - good afternoon.  I inspected the wiring harness (3rd time) but no build sheet.  The underdash wiring harness has a FoMoCo paper label wrapped around it - part number C5Z8144016.  I researched but found no info.  Does this part number help me in any way to determine if the car came with or without fogs?

Unfortunately for you, I may ping you again.........

Thank you, Rob

I think I have a spare fog light harness somewhere, will check if it has a engineering number tag.  Believe you are missing a trailing letter though, like a -B or -C.

The only other marking are the letters "SX" under the part number.

Charles, I'm baaaaack.  Pretty much forgot about this whole GT thing, enjoying driving the car.  But perusing Ebay I find this[/http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1965-GT-FASTBACK-CA-CAR-BLK-PLT-43YRS-1-FAMILY-A-CODE-/270608069343?cmd=ViewItem&pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item3f017f72dfurl]

65 GT fastback.  Spoke with the owner - he has not yet located the build sheet.  Look at the rear frame rail exhaust hangers.  Single bolt? If he can find that build sheet that would be helpful - I povided him with info as where to look.

Thanks

He won't find a build sheet in a San Jose car.  Hard to tell anything from the pics of the rear frame rails.  The one bolt that is showing looks newer than the surrounding area.  Would have to see more clear/larger pics before coming to any conclusions.  Also, the owner has fudged the warranty plate information.  Can probably figure out the approximate scheduled build date based on the unit number though.  Would have to wait until later today to do that.

The VIN is about 7400 after my SJ GT fastback and mine was scheduled for 14S.

So probably an 05T or something like that... based on the mix-up of the warranty plate info given in the auction.

I would not consider it an early GT by any means.  Most likely has undercoat covering the areas in question or rust?

It looks like the owner put the 6 from the trim code as part of the date.  He says the interior is black so the trim code should be 26 not 2.  That would make the scheduled build date 5T not 65T.  Does 5T sound like a reasonable build date Charles for a difference of 7400 units from 14S?

Looking to verify which dual exhaust my K had from the rear frame rail hanger locations.  The JPEG images on this thread come up as corrupted, and the pic Charles posted a location below is no longer there.  Are these images available anywhere else, or is there a better resource?  Searched through multiple threads on "dual exhaust" and not finding anything better.
