Looks like our cars were pretty close together; 6T09A142***. BTW, I bought mine near Florence, SC right near the SC/NC border. Is yours a Charlotte DSO also?


p.s. Sorry to get a little O/T

Hey JK,
Yep DSO 22. Do you have any paint ok stampings? Would also love to know if you have any decals on your cowl ("P" for example) Pics would be awesome. Keep in touch.

The P (and other letters) would be a Dearborn thing though I've seen allot of  San Jose and NJ cars "restored " in  the mid us with the stickers since owners often copy what they see the most of and in that part of the country its Dearborn cars ;)

The only paint ok stamping I've located was on the right side inner fender "Paint OK Conger". I don't have a pic, but may be able to shoot one. I haven't stripped anywhere else yet. The radiator support had some markings on the front side of it. No pics, but I wrote the info down. There was a backwards "Y" (instead of the "V" portion of the "Y" being symmetrical as it's typed here, it was written on a slant and done backwards. No other way I can think to describe it), and a "22". "Y" being the exterior color code (Silver Blue), and "22" for the interior (standard blue). IIRC there was a "GT" on it also, though don't quote me on. I'd have to dig up my notes. I was also fortunate enough to locate a build sheet for it also.

Hey JK,

I also have my complete build sheet. It was given to me with the car and had the bottom left corner missing and I found it under the drivers seat when detailing. Is there a reference to all of the info on them? I could send you a PM of mine if you'd like.

Thanks for the info on the radiator support markings. I know I have them but did not ever look at them closely because I had no reference to what they were but guess what I am about to do as soon as I finish this post???? I thought they were just scribble actually so thank you so much for the education mate! I am trying to build up a bit of a reference network for owners with cars around my build date. I would love it if you could PM me your email address so I can add you to it for us all to help each other out. Basically what I am looking to do is be able to email specific questions to the group and try to get collective feed back. Would love you to join us.

Thanks to this thread I have also found my fourth stamp on the hood in exactly the same location that was mentioned earlier. It is stamped KERWIN which is the same as the right outer fender. I have since learnt that fenders, hoods and trunk lids as well as other bolt on body painted parts were all painted in the same part of the plant (See start of video clip for "MARTHA REEVES & THE VANDELLAS - Nowhere To Run" )

I am trying to build up a bit of a reference network for owners with cars around my build date.

I would love to be a part of this data base.  My VIN IS 6T07T1941XX.  January 20 buck date.   Although, my car had a bad "restoration" in the 1980's and a lot of this info was lost. :(. I found no build sheet or paint Ok markings.  I am in the process of restoring the car and will be happy to share anything I find.  I am very interested in researching my car and helping others do the same.  I find it to be one of the more exciting parts of the hobby.
