Hey guys, new to the site. Can you tell by what is on the cowl plate what the options are? Here is what is on my 66. Is it a true 442 4speed.

Can you help

 

Welcome to the site! I'm sorry, I don't have the reference books to help with your question, but there's some folks here who are very knowledgable and will hopefully post soon. John

 

Sure can! But first I have to ask you to post pics! Please!

I can assure you that you indeed do have an original 4-spd 442 convertible.

Thanks for the help. I am going to bring her home tomorrow. She is not pretty right now but it is all there. Somebody painted her black at some point in the past. Motor still moves freely not running or in the car. Body pretty straight with little rust. Will start posting pictures when I get home and keep you informed on the restoration. How many cars do you think that has survived?
