It seems that lots of guys have asked this question. Figuring out the VIN # tag is not much of an issue. I know from working on this one that it was in the earlier part of production because of some of the components, early vs late 61.
To confirm my vehicle is a 1961 Monza Coupe manufactured in Oakland.
The body tag though is a different story. I did not find a clear reference for 61 body tags.
Now to help out, I have a 61, Coupe, Roman Red, with Bucket seats, forced air heating, EZ-Eye Glass all around, automatic, with push button radio. I would really love to know what everything means on the tag and all help appreciated.
