Who's the A body fender tag deciphering guru? Question about a car in the"For Sale" area...

Here is my take...

AC firewall is different than a NON AC firewall. BUT ONLY in hole locations and number. The heater core holes are the same on both. If the fender tag doesn't call out AC then one of a few things happened.

  1. AC was added by the dealer or owner using factory parts, cutting the holes needed to convert the firewall to AC
  2. The fender tag didn't have the option printed on it in error or its part of some other package with a different code.
  3. The BODY is an AC body (or at least the firewall) and some one is not on the level (re-body? wrong fender tag? Firewall replacement, mistake? intentional?) Being such an easy thing to check to the hidden body numbers, (which in that time would include partial or full (I don't recall which) VIN) it would be easy to verify, especially on a survivor car, no one one FABO would attempt to sell it here.

67 AC firewall
RED holes are AC specific
GREEN arrow points to standoff where a hole would be on a Heat only firewall for insulation pin
BLUE arrows point to where I modified the OEM holes for clearance for an AC to Heat only adapter plate

68 Heat only
RED is the heat only opening
GREEN is the insulation pin hole
ALL other AC specific holes are not drilled

Things that make me think the AC was added on at some point in its life (dealer or owner)

BLUE Circle #1 hole punched for the heat only insulation
BLUE Circle #2 lower mounting hole has remnants of the original heat only hole (where I had to cut out of my AC dash for clearance)
BLUE circle #3 1 of 4 small holes from a heat only firewall. On my adapter 3 of the 4 small holes are visable and only the lower hole is hidden by the AC firewall.
GREEN circle looks like there is a hole there but taped or something from the back side.

THATS MY STORY AND IM STICKING TO IT!
