Somebody please decide for this plate for me?

 

[QUOTE=Rowboat;1601076]Somebody please decide for this plate for me?

should say decipher my build plate

 

Originally a white unit built the 3rd week of June,66 in Lansing, MI. 935A is red interior.

 

Mike has most of it.
33455 is a base model Vista Cruiser with two row seating
The ACC codes show tinted glass (E) and extra padded front seat cushion (2A). The seat cushion was standard in the VC Custom but optional in the base model.

 

You're just too damn technical.

 

Thank you this is excellent information, car currently has a 4-speed installed but I can tell by the stock column that it was a three speed . Just curious if that is noted on that tag,?
And I found some information saying there was only 1660 of these made is that correct?

 

Are you saying the car was originally a standard shift unit?

 

 

LOL , yes that's what I meant it's a factory 3 speed on the column car

 

The base equipment trans was a column-shifted three speed manual. For the 1965 model year, there were 2,110 base Vista two row cars made and 3,335 base three row. There were also 9,335 Vista Custom two row and 17,205 Vista Custom three row.

 

But what about production numbers on the 66?

 

DOH! Sorry, I misread your post.

For the 1966 model year:

Base two row - 1,660
Base three row - 1,869
Custom two row - 8,910
Custom three row - 14,167

I should add that the three-on-the-tree steering column is quite rare. Don't trash it.

 

Do you think it might have had a Phord unit? Probably not but being a wagon who knows.

 

The only three speed used in the wagons was the Saginaw. The Inspector's Guide shows both M13 column-shifted HD three speed and M14 floor shifted as not available in either Base or Custom Vistas.

 

As a follow up to Mike's question, the RPO M13 column-shifted Phord three speed was only available behind the L77 Police Apprehender or L78 442 engines for the 1966 model year. While the L77 was available in the A-body cars without the 442 option, it was not available in wagons per the SPECS booklet.

 

Well I had no idea that could have been a police car ,it would look a lot better with a casket in it like a hearst... lol , what I do know about the car it was originally sold in placerville California at a dealership there to a gentleman who was a civil engineer, he added aftermarket air conditioning which is still in the car and works perfect, after that it apparently ended up in Oregon where from what I can tell is where the paint work was done.I bought the car in Minnesota but it had Arizona collector plates on it.
