As you’re disassembling the car, be sure to take lots of digital pictures and bag and label each component as it’s removed. You’ll be very glad you did when it comes time for reassembly.

Per your data plate:
model year: 1966
built at: Metuchen (Edison, NJ)
bodystyle: Hardtop
engine: 289 CID - 2V
consecutive #: 152591
body series: Hardtop - standard-trim bucket seats
scheduled assy.: March 15, 1966
exterior color: "Wimbledon White"
interior trim: Light Blue crinkle vinyl w/ Medium Blue "rosette"-pattern vinyl inserts
sales office (DSO): Atlanta, GA ("NK")
axle ratio: 2.80:1 "conventional"
transmission: "C-4" automatic

(You should put some information in your sig file so we don’t have to search for info on your car.) You should also check the VIN on the dash and check for a body tag in the engine compartment to confirm that this V6 car used to be a V8, (I’m not sure exactly where the tag is located on your year), since the door with the data plate could have come from another car.

You’ll also get faster responses to specific questions if you post them as individual threads.

I can’t help you with the seats since I think they are different than my 71-73s, though I think I recall something about seat bolt access holes in the floor.

can you give me an area to look for the vin and the body tag? i looked all over the engine compartment since i didnt know where the data plate was. the dash is rusted in spots which makes it hard to see anything. i didnt see a vin anywhere. if you can give me some specific areas to look at on the dash or engine compartment, i'll look up the info that i find. it wouldnt surprise me if they have been replaced before and there's no info on them.

65-67 should be on the drivers side fendor apron under the hood. If its not there then the car had had body work done due to an accident (most likely).

wouldn't surprise me if it did. when i had the guy come give me and estimate for sand blasting, he found a lot of spots where there was an excessive amount of bondo. on the front drivers fender and on both of the quarter pannels. there was quite a bit on the trunk lid too.
