help request from a newbie. my father passed on 2 mos ago and i inherited his 66 gto which he bought new in 66. car is still in his name as i have the original title. my question is the data plate has an error from the factory in that it says the car is a 76 gto. plate reads
st 76-24217 fra 7046
tr 223-b n-2
obviously this should say st 66-24217. ??????
this car is a one owner and has not been restored yet which i am going to begin shortly. my dad brought me home from the hospital when i was born and my parents went on their honey moon in this goat. it has been with us from day one. but this has always perplexed my dad and me. we are/were both auto mechanics by trade. any help is appreciated. having problems uploading pics also. thanks. john
That is the first I have heard of a typo on a data plate. As long as first digits of your VIN tag reads 242176G I would not be too concerned. That mistake may add value to your 66.
The other thing I would do is send off to Pontiac Historic Services to confirm all your information on the car. They can sometimes help with strange problems.
