The topless adventures of Cuda Al
Oddities
Shortly after getting the car I noticed that it didn't have provisions for the Certi-Card by the battery that was typical on 67s. I checked the backside to see if there were ever holes and the original undercoating looks undistributed.
Number two, the hood has the access holes for the hood mounted turn signals. This was a new item in 68 and has typically been a way to know a 67 hood from a 68 hood. Yes it is possible that the hood was replaced but I don't think so, the car has been well cared for and has had no reason to replace it. The car is a very late 67 so they may have already added to hole knowing it would be needed and didn't want to have hoods without the holes going into the 68 run. We'll never know.
Number three, the vacuum gauge is not coded on the data tag, not all options are but the vacuum gauge typically is. The hole in the firewall is in a different location than you normally see it, the hole itself isn't the right size as the grommet is difficult to get in. This may have just been a slip on the line, again we'll never know.
