Hi Folks;

I`ve been looking at several 3.8 Rdstrs with Chassis #s starting from 877 to 880:

Some show the Alum. dash & console area (Which I love to death) & some show vinyl or leather coverings:

Who out there knows when or at what Chassis # did they change from the Alum to Leather or Vinly?

Thanx in advance;

Russ
 
Hi Russ.
The alum dash was changed to leather in September '63 from

OTS. 850752/879803.
FHC. 861254/889030.

Hope this helps.
Chers Phil.
 
Hi Phil;

Thanx for the info: Sure does help: My Chassis # is: 880827 with the vinyl trim as Orig. I just love the look of the Dot or Milled Alum Console etc: "Should I or Should`nt I"????????

What say ye all??????

Thanx, Russ
 
Do what pleases you. Sure it might not be original, but it would not be hard to redo for show or original sale. Really will not hurt value of car.
