I’m looking for the correct factory color codes for my 59. Indian Turquoise. Thank you!

Thank you Alan!

My 59 has a production code of 22F, which would be 22nd of June. Would that we considered an early or late production?

61 bird… When my car warms up, the car struggles to go in reverse. When it’s first started up and cold, it has no issue. Would anyone know why it may struggle once the car has been running awhile?

There was a contract strip on the column missing. I replaced it and we’re back in business!

I noticed that my reverse lights don’t come on when I put the car in reverse. Looking on the steering column near the safety switch, it looks like there should be 2 knobs (contacts) Well mine only has one, it appears the other one either broke off or wore off, therefore not making contact when I shi...

I just did this same job about a month ago and also ran into issues. What part are you stuck at? Do you have the bolts in and in the slots where you need to tighten them down?

I found what I believe to be the “build sheet” under my rear seat. Is there anyone out there that can decipher it for me, or tell me where I can find what the codes mean. I know the info. On the top row (except ROT, type order, region district), but the 2nd and 3rd rows I’m lost… Thank you in advanc...

I recently had to replace my shifter and detent plate. Everything came off ok…. Going back on, no so great. I have everything back in place, but it doesn’t appear that the chrome shift collar is sitting correctly, as I’m unable to see the notch where the snap ring needs to go on. I’ll attach some pi...
