Tom is that the convert. I owned with the slice in the top ?

Charley-YES. It was in a collection here in Seattle, and the owner passed on. Went out east to a brother or cousin. Neat car, but received a substandard repaint sometime after you and Bob had it.

My car had the smog (AIR Air Injector Reactor) equipment from the factory. It still had the red AIR sticker on the radiator support by the battery also.

First time I’ve heard it was on CA cars in 66. Interesting.

Absolutely smog on 66's in California. But not every car assembled at the Fremont Plant was sold in California., some shipped to neighboring states where SMOG was not a legal requirement.....and this likely contributes to some confusion over this.

----I think I was a year off in my statement above. Should have been January 1st 1966. Old age sucks!......Bill S
