NPD sells PUI interiors, i have seen them, nothing wrong with PUI, they supply almost all the major catalogs including ciadella, etc, etc. They just dont make cloth insert style, but in my case, my convetible is all vinyl anyway.

Would any one have any pictures of the first few SD optioned cars? I was wondering about badging, etc. Was the first car listed in the registry below, Oct 66, the first one built? Thanks for any info.
Oddly enough, I typed up a reply this morning, then locked up the computer when trying to add a picture. This time I'll type, submit, then try to edit/add a picture...
My '66 has the Bright Blue interior. It has kind of a "NASA metallic" look to it (if that makes any sense?) While I love the colour, stock bright blue belts are tough to find. Having said all of that, it sounds like Bright Blue is not what you are after. With regards to PUI, I went with PUI skins and have not had an issue. However, I have heard that Legendary are "legendary" in their quality. Most of these comments though have pertained to the door panels. While I did go with my carpet from our sponsor NOS, my skins I picked up while on vacation in the states. They fit into my suitcase allowing me to avoid shipping costs and duty.
PS I think that Bright Blue was only available in the SD's in 66, and the code for Bright Blue is 387. Not so sure about the 67's though. Hope this helps somehow.

Here's what I came up with 73667 = 66 or 67 Beaumont Custom convertible 2-12-6 = production date = 2nd shift Dec 6th
832922 = consecutive production number paint E = Royal Mist Metallic ( Dupont code DUM-2087) Trim 387 = blue interior 66 only ( so this answers the year question above ) M35 = powerglide automatic transmission A51 = ? C06 = power folding top TP10 = top colour

Yes, the model year 1967. Sorry to bring a year old post back to life. I did just get rid of the rotary phone in the house, if that helps explain anything!
Haaa. I just had a flashback to that movie where the guy on the CB radio is talking to his father on the other end from 30 years earlier. (Music from the Twilight Zone playing in the back ground.)
PS Thanks for the kind words guys.

Hi be66, my car is a very early SD (sports option)... I think it was the oldest in the registry... There were no trim differences between it and later cars that Im aware of... Any specific info you need?
