Default Wire Wheel Disc ‘extension’.

This ‘65 was ordered with the “wire wheel disc covers” which requires the valve extensions.

There were two of these 1-1/16” extensions in the console glove box when I purchased the car.
Fortunately I was able to find a couple more of that design and length.

Amazing car, I've read this thread twice since you posted it. I had a '64.

Default Spare tire and Wheel

BFG Silvertown 7.75-14 tire.

This spare had been slightly used at some point.

The solid Black (code A) wheels on this car has a “W” and “GM” stamped on the face along with a “6 9” at the valve stem.

Correct DILL 627 valve cap.

Lead wheel weight.

Thank you so much for taking the time to document all of these little details. It's just as entertaining as it is informative!

Default Glass Codes

Question, during a “Vintage Certification” on a Unrestored Survivor automobile, does the judging crew look at all the window codes to determine if they are dated correctly for that particular car?

I recently completed the full walk around with photos of all the windows on my early ‘65 GTO.
I expected all 8 windows to be correct as when this car left the Baltimore plant in late 1964.

The clarity varies, as some are dark and easy to read, as others are light and difficult to photograph.
These glass codes line up correctly with a range of June, July and Aug. of ‘64.
Invoice date on this car is Nov. 6, 1964.
As mentioned earlier in this thread, this particular car may have been impacted by the 30 day General Motors (Sept. 25 ~ Oct. 25 of 1964) strike.

LOF on the two wing windows and PPG on the rest of the glass out of the BAL plant.

Interesting, the LH door glass and 1/4 glass are read from the outside opposed to the others being read from inside.

My ‘66 built in Fremont is the opposite.
PPG on the wings and LOF on the rest.
