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?
:o)
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!

Me too! Always nice to hear of a good find, especially what it cost can make it even better ;D 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.
