Title: Early 67 convertible side rail main hinge
Post by: Oz390 on November 21, 2013, 04:59:00 AM

Have these pics and wanted to note the source... not sure who gave them to me, think it may have been someone here.  Forgot to note it when saving them.

I think they are "early '67". Can anyone confirm the have this type of hinge and a build date?

Just got my car back from the body shop - sorry for the delay in responding...

Here are a couple of shots of the hinges on my '67 San Jose convertible.  According the Marti report, it was actually built on Sept. 22, 1966 (eight days early).  They certainly look different from the hinges in your photos...

Cheers!
