Assembly line mark?
« on: June 25, 2017, 02:19:30 PM »
I found this "apparent" assembly line inscription behind the rear bumper on my 1965 K code fastback (San Jose/2.16.1965) and have no idea what it denotes.  Any thoughts?  Thanks, Ron

Rotation number

+1  Second rotation number for the process after the body and trim process.

If you use the search feature you should find other examples plus a fuller explanation and where you can find up to a dozen or so more locations where it was possibly originally applied at San Jose

I restored a '65 K convertible to MCA Thoroughbred standards about 7 years ago, it had a scheduled build date of Feb 10th at San Jose.  Maybe some of the pics would be useful, but always use your car as the first reference, unless parts have been changed or things out of the norm (to see about validating).

Charles:  Incredibly nice job and attention to detail!  Especially liked the pictures of your K motor mounts, which I'm currently addressing on my dis-assembled '65 K fastback.  I'm not shooting for a concourse car, just a nice original that can be driven.  Hope I can tap into your experience as the need arises during my resto.  Thanks, Ron
