1969 firewall graffiti
« on: August 02, 2019, 11:20:23 PM »
I just got my 69 back from media stripping. Found the firewall marks. "C60" in bold letters, a/c. "259" top of the cowl pass side. "DYEL" must mean Daytona yellow. Also found a "DE" & an "87". "DE" might mean Deluxe int. Any thoughts on the unknowns. They didn't photograph very well. Thank you, Joe

Here some pictures of the firewall. I guess BYEL is actually bright yellow. You can see where they drilled through the hidden vin below the rectangular hole & where it says C60 starting where one of the heater hoses goes...Joe

I have never seen the hidden vin in that spot. Is that a AC thing ?

Either that or because of it's late build...Joe
