 I believe buckets/console were standard on GP. The Strato was an option as far as I know, not sure if it was a chargeable option or simply a change of option code.

Yes, my favourite years have always been 65-66 with 67 coming in right behind that.

Man, wish that tag would have said posi, or L72 427, or M20 Muncie 4 speed or something cool like that.....!

  Here you go, Carl.............

 

 Fred, you have to redo, man!!! (lol)

 Vince, can I get some REAL gears please??? Those 3.31's are a bit lame with that wild cam...

And thanks for the power antenna. I was gonna order that too...

GT4 is fine!

Finally.....Carl used the force and came back from the Dark side.....Congradulations!! You again, own the most beautiful car ever made...although I am very bias as you know!!! I guess the parts pool just got bigger ...nice to see you rejoin the club Carl!!! It looks awesome!!

I never thought to measure the front bar. I'll run out in a bit and do that.

Neat tag Andrew. Have you decoded it? I can't remember them all. I know the P01 and P77 have to do with wheel/tire/hubcap but forget what. Also, can't recall what A39 is.

That seat is 67 Caprice, right? Looks like it from the 16647 code.

Why do all the parts books say there is only one front bar size, 65-70???

This bar is .815" or 13/16".

I came across this in the basement today too. I had forgotten. I guess it will go on there too...

Is this an OEM bar or the later replacement Andrew? I forget but I know you are the one who taught me that the replacement bar has a different shape to the dip in the center under the housing.

The 66 looks really good, did you find a build sheet anywhere yet carl??

 Curiosity got the better of me. I pulled the metal back off the driver's bucket, and there it was!

Proves once again, F40 gives you a 12 bolt, even with a 283 Powerglide.

Not much to say, tint windshield, heavy duty suspension, power brakes, block heater, power steering, wheel covers, am radio.

The interesting thing is, it has everything for a rear defog except the defogger unit! Switch and full harness is there, no unit. Must have been a dealer installed since it's not on the build sheet.

 Very nice, does the car have the large front sway bar on it?? 

I just checked behind the metal back of my 67 strato bench and found this.

Acording to the brochure buckets standard on the sport coupe and the strato bench is option  on the sport sedan.

 That's worded funny! It really doesn't mention a Strato bench in the sport coupe, yet we know they could be had in black or fawn.

I always suspected F40 gave you a 12 bolt in Cdn cars. I've seen so many 6 cylinders and small 8s with the big front sway bar, 4 rear control arms and a 12 bolt.
