The enduring connection between music and the automobile...

Below is an album from my collection with a fun cover - one of Peart's biggest influences.

- Phillip

As a teenager in the 70's I had to listen to my Dad's old jazz albums, one of which included Buddy Rich vs Gene Krupa. Pretty epic!

Looking for the above in very good condition with Jan 67 date. Have C30E-9431-B = Drivers side manifold to swap or sell outright, 4/8/5 date. Thanks

Hockylife, Thanks again.  Were asking about the serial number, the second line of numbers below the model type (RUG N 1) on the riveted Transmission tag.

Jeff, I think it's a "7" too.

Sorry, forgive my cellphone pic taking. Once again...

RUG N 1

Thanks guys "Hockeylife" and Jeff.

That's it - OK so it has the RUG N unit, so can you say what the SJ (San Jose) build date of your car was? 

Trying to determine when the change from the HEH BX to the RUG in the small blocks started.  It seems to be later than previously thought.

5/5/67

Does this answer your question?

Not JD but the tag on the opposite side would answer which transmission it is. Picture shows the details of just the main case of the transmission shared by many different ones

Ok, try again.  Correct VIN on bottom, along with big yellow 3.

All big new numbers! They're on the rise. Stock market down, car market up

Thanks Hockeylife and Jeff.,
Is your 69 A/C or no A/C  and the same on your car Jeff.A/C or no? Jeff,would you put production date at May something?
Thanks
Brad

Yes, car is A/C.

My 2/69 GT500, bought from original owner/family, still has its black battery heat shield found in trunk drop. Had to google part number to be sure what it was.

I notice in the picture of the engine bay of #2645 that the thermostat housing is not painted. Most pictures I've seen of 'restored' engine show the housing painted blue.

Is this another variation or running change in production?  What would you expect to see on #2751 from the factory?

Many thanks for any information you can share.

David.

To the questions above...I don't think that is a running change, perhaps as a result of required maintenance and cleaning-up of existing parts at the same time. 

Yes, painted blue is what would be expected based on known/believed practices.  The coil location would be another item that is not typical of assembly line practice. 

Looks to be a very nice car!

What is considered the typical coil location? Anything that would make it vary?

Can't tell from that angle, but do you have inboard/outboard lights?

Looks like both.
