1969 Stage 1?? Transmission vin proof?

James,

Where are you located? Are you in the Olympia WA area?

 

I live in Poulsbo WA, which is on the Kitsap Peninsula.

I see that you live in Kent, Howdy neighbor!
If that is your car in your signature.....it looks spectacular!

James

 

Can anyone tell me where on the punch card (attached in earlier e-mail) it says that it came with the stage 1 option?

Thanks,

james

 

Thanks James, it is one of my 69's. I grew in the Kitsap Lake Area of Bremerton, right down the road from you!

Ok, guys here are some pictures.... She aint pretty!

The drive train is done (455 with 400 decals)...

Interior is original, down to the very thin carpet! (interior pictures on the next post)

 

oops... and the interior.

If you send me an exact size photocopy of both the IBM 80 Column punch cards along with all the info from the ID plate on the firewall and the full Vin number I can make sure the "punches" correspond with the text written on the cards and can prove the car is a Stage 1.

The best way to photocopy the cards is to put a black piece of paper behind the card so the punched out areas stand out clearly.

I think she's beautiful:kodak:

So if the trans tells the story, how do you determine a 4 speed Stage car? I may have found oneo No:

 

Duane,

Will do, I appreciate your help.

James

 

Is it the white one Rich?

On a 4 speed w/o the matching engine, you need to find paperwork, as my understanding is that there is NOT a difference between the Stage 1 and non Stage 1 transmissions / markings.

 

Me too...love the green on white, no AC combo!:TU:

 

"Will do, I appreciate your help."

No sweat.

I need you to snail mail me a paper copy of the IBM 80 cards, not post a scan of them. The key I have made up works by moving it across the face of the card. Therefore I need a life size copy of the card, not scaled one way or the other.

This way I can verify that the text on the card matches the punch-outs.
If you can get me a copy I can do this. Here is my info;

Duane,

I get it now.

I will get it in the mail...

Thanks again,

James

 

Duane,

The copy of the punch card is in the mail.

Thanks again,

James McDaniel

 

Cool.
Thanks for sharing the pictures!:TU:

 

Finally got camera going. Long way from 1969

 

I think it looks great...personally, I like seeing them in that shape a lot moreso than an undriveable trailer queen!!! Looks good!:TU:
