66 gto PHS documents and trim tag
My wife got me the PHS documents for my 66 gto convertible project. When I bought the car a few months ago, it came with a non original engine topped with a tri-power. I assumed the tri-power was not original due to the lack of an original motor. Much to my surprise, PHS states that it is an original tri-power car. Very little else in the way of options, but how much does a fella need besides multiple carbs, a 4 speed, and a posi? All jokes aside, I had a question about my trim tag. The tag shows options G and L, which I understand to be 4 speed and console. The PHS documents say nothing about the console, and I'm fairly certain that the console that came with the car is not original. Is it possible that the console was never delivered with the car despite the trim tag designation?

The cowl tag would have a '2' before the GL if it was for the Console and manual trans hole?

The BHC does show it as a WS tripower with 4 speed and 3.55 gear maybe?

Regardless, I am going to put a console back in it along with rally gauges. |

Yes, tripower, 4 speed, 3.55 posi, and pushbutton AM radio. I suppose it would be nice to have a bunch of other options, but if I had to choose only 3 options, tripower, 4 speed, and posi would be the 3 I would choose. Unfortunately, the original motor is long gone. I do have the original muncie (grenaded and I might rebuild) and the original rear, which I do not want to rebuild and I have an 8.5 10 bolt from a 71 olds that I am going to rebuild and put in.

Follow up question...can you tell by the order history or any other PHS documents if the car was a dealer ordered car or a customer ordered car?
