Parking brake attachment points would be different.

Others?

Default Re: '66 vs '67 frame (Patrick Tighe)

the 65 frames ran the front to rear brake line atop the frame but I don't know if that changed in 66, obviously the line mounting holes would be in different positions

Thanks guys, I lost. Oh well.

Patrick, you read my mind.....I just bought a '66 BB/390 coupe, red/black leather, 4 spd, 3.36 posi, F41, teak/tele, TI - oh, also top flighted last year. I will post pics as soon as I borrow a digital camera.

Quite a difference in handling and road manners with the coupe.

:p:

'63-82 frames are essentially the same. Additional reinforcements were added in 1969. There are differences between automatic tranny frames and 4 speed frames, plus some differences after cat-cons came in, but essentially the frames are the same. There are no separate frames for coupes or convertibles.

Convertible mid years have two additional body mounts
