VIN 6K290145717
6=Model year of production,1966
K=Assmbly Plant,Kansas City
29=Body style code,My books do not cover that
year's body code for VIN
O=Engine code, I show an engine code for the 62
model year as bing a 390, I am not 100% sure
that is the same for '66
145717=Unit number of production at that Assembly
plant for that year.
Door data plate code
Body 66B=Body type, Custom Ranchero
Color T=Body color,Red
Trim 45=Interior trim, My books don't go back far
enough to cover that code color.
Date 03M=Production date 3rd day of December.
Axle 1=Rear Axle Ratio 3.0:1
Trans 6=Trannsmission code,C4 Automatic3 speed
Dual Range .
If the Data plate has a black background identifies a unit painted with M32J(Acrylic)Enamel
(Solid color Unit or the lower Body Color when Unit is two toned).
If the Data plate has a gray background it identifies a Unit painted with M30J(Non-Acrylic)Enamel. (Solid Color Unit or the lower body color when unit is two toned).

 

triker, Thanks for the info, the motor in the Ranchero is a 289. it looks to be there from the factory.

 

I'm sure someone with the engine codes for that year will Verify what it is for you.

 

I was just informed from a very reliable source that there was no engine code "O" for 1966. "C" would be the correct code for a 289 2V in 1966.

Thanks, However I am sure it is an "O" it is the door data plate and the radiator brace and my title. I will keep digging to see what I can find....thanks for the help....matt

 

Well I feel like a dumb @#$ it is a "C", maybe not dumb @#$ just old eyes........thanks, matt

 

You must have gotten those eyes from the same place as me, I can't read small print without glasses anymore.
