66 dso?

[Scott C.]

Might not of had rear view mirror from the factory, as most did not. Also, remember that sun visors were not standard. They were an option.

With the visors I don't think the one like on my other 66 would fit between the mounts.

This is just the way mine looks

 

[farzadmip]

Don't know why that didn't work.

 

[Scott C.]

Yes, 54=Omaha. That is normal. The other is odd?? the 198 is:
1=bench seat
98=long roof (full top)
N=Frost or Light Torquoise

 

[farzadmip]

Ah I was looking at it all wrong.

 

[Scott C.]

F=Michigan plant
L= 170 ci 6 cylinder

The sun visors have an odd shape too. Let me know if you decide to part it out. I'd be interested in the air cleaner and transfer case shifter.

I think the sun visors have just submitted to exposure to the eliments!!

That DSO is interesting.
54=Omaha
71=LA
44=Twin Cities

7144=7144th special order for that Omaha DSO.

That's awesome! An answer finally surfaces! Thanks man!

 

[farzadmip]

Do you see anything that would have been special order?

Probably customer wanted a certain color and maybe some specific options like heater and radio. It seems to have all the options an early '66 could get back then. It was loaded.

What I have been able to make of the buck tag markings is:
OPCAR= bulkhead delete
BSDP= bucket seat driver and passenger
RS= rear seat
LGROOF= long roof (full hard top)
NIR= not sure, but some times it is MIR think it has some thing do with mirror? Roadsters usually have MIR and U15's usually have NIR. from my limited experience.
HTR= heater
U15= Wagon
092= 92" wheel base
J= Rangoon Red
WSW= windshield washer
773640=sequence number for 11/65 build month

After closer inspection the buck tag does say MIR not NIR any thoughts?

MIR stands for mirror on passenger side. That was an option.

WSW from what I understood is for white side wall tires. Not 100% sure but I know tires could be ordered either way - black or white.

 

[Scott C.]

Tim, MIR is on my tag and no passenger mirror. Your white one is the same also. I have seen some that say MIRK. Not sure about the K?
I used to think WSW was tires, but, now think windshield washer as all the buck tag info appears to be body related.

Yup no passenger mirror here either.

I bought my 66 U14 from the 2nd owner who bough it in 68. It has buckets in it but I don't think they are 66 models. I asked him about it and he said the buckets were in it when he got it. the vin shows 197. So does this mean it did come with a bench?
