Although the car is long gone, yesterday I found an aluminum tag from one of my old 78 Fairmont 2 door sedans. I believe that this bare aluminum tag is the one that was attached to the cars owners manual. Anyhow, the tag reads like this, top line first, and to the right;
8X91F249672 W 9D B7
66B LB 28G B W
It was a factory 302 V8 auto, that I later converted to a T5 5 speed and 8.8 rearend. It had the fairly rare optional front door vent windows that had round knobs inside to crank the vent windows out. It also had a blue "Houndstooth" interior, and a 2 tone paint scheme, white with a blue painted roof. Next to my 78 Fairmont 2 door sedan drag race car, this was my favorite of my 6 F/Zs, 4 of which were "Boxtops". It was a regular winner at Mission Raceway dragstrip, and won 2 track championships in the late 90s.
