Red fender liners?
Picked up a 66,…phs shows it was ordered with the red fender liners. Anyone have any numbers on how many were sold equipped with them?

PMD Didn't keep track of options. In most cases, it was only the engine production numbers that mattered to them.

Ok thanks, I thought the ones in the know may have a pretty good guess on the liner cars produced. I’ve heard estimates on the exterior colors numbers.

Body color really had nothing to do with this option, I will say IMHO some colors just don't work...

I’m no expert for sure, I did notice and learn something as when assembling the car to transport. All the brake drums were painted red. I thought some kid had done this. Lol. Found out the 66s with the rally’s and red liners had factory red painted drums.

In this ad/clip it is clear; In this ad/clip, they are referring to two separate options in the same image, sort of deceptive until you read it carefully;

I almost went for them on my Code K Lemans but just a bit too "Christmassy" for my liking
Bob's Code K '66 looks great as is;

Just one more cool thing about a '66. I didn't know about the red lines being part of the package. I thought if it had rallies it got the red drums. No?

For me, with that color I would keep them if I had them but I wouldn't go out of my way to get them. I think they'll look fantastic on the Nightwatch Blue car that JC just bought. I think they'd look pretty good on my Barrier Blue car too.

Just like a mismatched trim colour, on some options they looks horrendous, others just a curiosity.

My 67 H.O. four speed GTO came factory w/ red liners and the original color was Montego Cream, black interior. Looked very complimentary with the liners, repainted the car white in 1976 and the liners looked even better. Big fan of them with a complimenting exterior color. Rally I wheels for about 15 years then w/ HURST for the next 15.
