I know how to look this up but you all seem to enjoy it so much that I posted it here.
This is a 66 I just brought home last weekend so it's not in my sig line yet. Did I find a rare one?

E in group 2 is code is factory air
and we all know what the RR code is. I found an RR coded block last year from a local guy who had parts from a parted factory air 66 Corsa. I saved the harnesses and all the air parts and gave the block to a good friend who needed it ;)

The car looks nice in the pictures. Is still bronze on bronze?

Re: Decoding homework
No and the car is just a rolling shell right now with the front and rear glass just re-installed. It just came out of paint and body a few months ago and is now Madiera Maroon inside and out. It came with a complete Clark's interior and even the seat covers are already installed over new seat buns. The engine was fully rebuilt from the crankshaft out and is ready for its first test run. The Cragar 5-spokes are brand new with new Michelin rubber as well.notched wrote:The car looks nice in the pictures. Is still bronze on bronze?
I hauled home three full loads of parts in my stripped E350 15-passenger van the last few weeks. Luckily, it was less than an hour away. Not sure if I'll start a build thread or not since at this point it is mostly assembly work. Every major component is already cleaned, rebuilt and repainted. The car also has a telescopic steering wheel but I haven't checked for fast steering yet.
I'm really happy it is a 66 Corsa 140 4-speed with factory A/C and telescopic wheel. Not too many of those around these days (or back then). The VIN tag and body tag agree that it's the real deal. It would only be more rare if it was a convertible like rondo has.
I think the engine code should be RZ for a 66 140 MT but I'm not 100% sure yet.

Re: Decoding homework
Yeah definitely a rare one. I had one here that I helped a friend pick up last fall. There were 3 at the convention in Knoxville with one of those being the green one Craig Nicol used to own. They say only 153 based on the records from Tonawanda of how many with the RR code.
The survival rate is fairly high percentage. Obviously rarest of rare would be an LA built convertible.
But that is definitely a good find. Even more so with the MM code and 788 code interior.

Re: Decoding homework
I have had conflicting information on what my tags are telling me. The motor was rebuilt by a mechanic in Mississippi four years ago but he did not document any of the casting numbered. The block is stamped T0304RD which I have read is a Tonawanda built motor on March 4 but here is the confusion. One site said RD was a " HPE " motor which stands for high preformance engine, and others say it is just a 110 Hp engine. is there a way to see the head castings with the engine in the car?
My body tag's indicates black interior. Is that black vinyl or could it be a black and white cloth?
