FO is for the wide ratio M-20.
LL is the paint code

Thanks firstgenaddict. I guess the "FO" wld be found on the Build sheet if I had one. The first L reflects the marina turq. color. Does the 2nd L mean the same?

Thanks,
Sam

Depending on what color Convt Top it should be coded different than a "L"

Per the Cowl tag ("L2") and the actual car it is a black top car.

Is the POP coded wrong then since it shows LL and should be L2. LL would mean upper and lower paint colors were Mariner Turquoise thus a Hardtop?

Dag nabbit! I guess I need to brush up on my Muncie-speak. Forgot that June is "H" in Muncie. So intuititive - don't now how I forgot. I foolishly thot 'H" was August!

Now that is just-in-time supply system (tranny assembled 7 June - car assembly started the very next week!) Thanks GTO DON!

I now have confirmed that although I have a date code correct Muncie, it is not original to this car.

Nonetheless, I could not resist her and had to bring her home today...
