Mine doesn't make sense either. It's a very early build (Sept 63 I think) but it's something like number 30K.

I do like this but I wish someone would correct the leather interior trim codes for 1966. They all list white as the base color and it should be parchment.

hello,
found a 1966 Q car for sale (concecutive unit #) is 68402. seller has original dealers invoice 6/10/1966. I am not sure if there is any value.
Seller is claiming that it is the last one produced, which I dont think its true. My question is - Is there any value to this vehicle with a higher CUN.

Thanks
Gerald

Parts places ask for the month of manufacture. What would be the month for a VIN of 6y852138136 ?

:n00b:

Is your data plate riveted to your door? If it is, what are the codes on it? If so, please post them so we can tell you what they are. If it's not on your door, I'd have to check against my database of VINs/data plate info to see if there's a range of dates it could fall under.

Just a side note the VIN given is incorrect or miss read. Should it not be

6Y85 Z 138136

Be careful if it is an error for title registration.
