The bad news is you are very mistaken
By hawkrod - 03/15/2005 10:40:02 PM; IP 205.188.117.67
A car built January 9th is definitely not an early much less "very early" car. A car built in the previous late July 67 or early August 67 would be a very early car and a car built by say mid october 67 may be considered early but your car is well into the model year and at least 75,000 were built before yours and maybe even 100,000. Also, it is a falacy that Ford used up leftover parts as there is no such thing. Ford only built and shipped enough parts to build scheduled cars. In other words, if they planned to build 1000 cars they built and shipped 1000 engines to the final assembly plant from the engine plant. They had a fabulous "Just In Time" system in place and only outside sourced parts and really special production items (like 427 Fairlane exhaust manifolds) will have dates outside of an approximately 30-90 day window. As a prime example of this JIT system, my own 68 GT 390 car was getting assembled the last weeks of February and into March (scheduled 3/4, built 3/12) and the engine was assembled on 3/3 and all of the casting dates are late January up to mid February. My original Holley has a 1st week February date and my smog cannister is dated 2/29 (you knew it was a leap year correct?). My harmonic balancer and distributor are also dated February. Now as far as original goes, the chrome dress up package did not include a coil or a regulator so somebody was into your car at some time and made changes. Hawkrod
