I was lucky enough to find an engine pad picture of the car that was right in front of mine on the production line. Has anyone else tried and succeeded?
Wasn’t difficult, maybe lucky. Got ahold of the owner after finding it on the C2 registry. We exchanged engine pad pictures and contact info, he thanked me, and that was that.
I had a 66 Cp 327 350 horse 4 speed mosport green with dark green int. And I had a 66 Cp 427 390 maroon black interior they went down the assembly line right next to each other what are the chances of owning both cars at the same time. I since have sold both cars.
Thank you Boyan, I was hoping to get some opinions.
I would say the odds of finding back to back serial numbers is high, and then finding different engine suffixes with the same engine assembly date is extremely high.
I say that because the engines came into the plants on racks – racked by suffix codes. For the operator to pull an engine from an HP rack and then pull the next engine from an HT rack and both have the same assembly date, was probably unusual. Especially the HP engine since AC was a relatively low volume engine.
Fremont had a much higher production rate than St Louis, and even then, low volume engine racks would sit sometimes for days, while the higher volume racks were being forked in and out continuously.
