Topic: My garage find

[64.5 Steve]

Thought I would add a few more pics today cleaned some paint of Radiator bracket for Bob Fria emailed to him. Got results back from him. He said
"Steve -
  Here's what these codes mean:
C8 - your car was the 8th Mustang serialized within the "C" group of cars. We've learned there were two previous groups "A" and "B" assembled . The A group were Allen Park Pilot Plant built, and the B group appear to be the first pre-production Mustangs assembled on the Dearborn Assembly Plant assembly line. This group consisted of up to (not exact) 40 cars we've been able to identify within this group. Next came C group which appears to have started with VIN 100131. It's not known from my research to date how many Mustangs were in this C group, but yours is certainly one of them.

76A - This is a body code for a standard interior convertible

J6 - J is Rangoon Red exterior with Black interior

BL - means the car was ordered with the optional back-up lights"

No worries to all I was never looking to restore a mustang just replace a convertible I sold . So with that said all stays same with me. I did find something in a box not sure if it goes with car maybe you can let me know there are two of them with red paint on them ? I'm sure I will have lots more?s in the future and I thank you all for the help I'm goin to need   .

It's a bumper bracket for the rear bumper.  And from the looks of the pics your car has been repainted.

Sweet Garage find!

Pre-Production car mustang finds are pretty rare nowadays, but they are STILL out there..

If you don't mind me asking, What did you pay for this car?

Thanks,

Really?

Lucky guy. Looks like a fun car to do - best of luck with the project.

BTW I don't care if you paid $15 or $150,000

Geez, Just curious!

[Hipo giddyup]

  Me too! Always nice to hear of a good find, especially what it cost can make it even better    An early convert is not too common anymore and hopefully that is not offending to ask? It could be sent as a pm if the new owner wishes, but it's not that important to me, just curious too.
