I'd be game, but I have to many strays that have wandered in already..... LOL
How your recuperation coming along? John

Surgery went OK, but I had more damage than the surgeon anticipated. While in surgery I had two heart attacks. I feel good and think I am doing good with my therapy. My doctors and family are telling me I need to slow down, but I am afraid if I do I might come to a complete stop. I need to find someone to take over this project. I have not even started to clean it out but noticed some spare parts in the trunk. Thanks for your concern.

Being a 2dr it was worth saving. Out of stupidity, which engine does it have? 356?

It has the 288.

That would be a prefect car for someone then. Make a driver with it to just enjoy.

Just found the build sheet on gas tank fill tube. I know what most of it means, but there are a couple that I don't recognize. Can anyone elaborate on the complete meaning?
2205 2365-5 N 6374 EMC OD HE 69 .. Found the fender skirts in the back seat.

To kick things off, I'll have a shot at them.

2205 - Could this be 2206 for the Model/Chasis Number? There is no 2205. if 22XX = 1948(Does not compute trying to align this to the next set of numbers!)

2365-5 = 1950 Deluxe Eight Club Sedan

N 6374 = My "guess" - possibly sequence number?

EMC = Electromatic Clutch

OD = Overdrive

HE = My "guess" - Paint Code?

69 = My "guess" - Upholstery Code? Post#2 in this old thread mentions "69" as an upholstery code for a 2365.
Now ducks for cover as no doubt the much more knowledgable here will shoot me down.

"HE" is the fresh air heater/defroster.

"N" is the paint code,Sylvan Green Metallic.

Thanks guys, everything has been identified except the 2205 number. I checked the build slip again and it is clearly 2205.
