Thanks 440Beep. "Sold Car" means someone spec it out and ordered it?

Y codes typically have something to do with money / pricing / accounting.

In the case of a Y14 car, someone placed a deposit on it at time of order. It could have been a dealership that ordered a car to their specifications for a speculation sale or a customer at a dealership.

thanks Barry, I know you mentioned something about it after recieving the buildsheet. In looking at all the do-dads on the car I am left wondering if the dealer didn't order it as an attention-getter.

I recieved the past newsletters and COMPLETED the check I sent you. Thanks!

This Spring, I hope to track down the painted top TA I mentioned a while ago.

I laughed at the check, I do the same thing once in a while.

Best of luck on the V02 T/A, it would be cool if a fourth one popped up.

Well, yes. There were offices at the plants for that. You could also order at your local dealership then pick up the car at the assembly plant when it was done.

Orders are often mentioned as 'special' when they were just orders though.

A special order would be a car with a non-standard paint color or non-standard interior as two examples.

Regular orders would only be special to the person that ordered the car. I would guess 2-4 weeks for normal delivery from time of order from the 1970 paperwork on them that I have seen so far.

mine has Y93 show car paint B less gas..what exactly did this mean? 1971 ply dan
