68 FB Conv - Door Jam Vent Louver?
Hello, just curious if my 68 FB Conv should have Door Jam Vent Louvers (RFI300) in the rear quarters. Quarters were replaces with OE back in the late 80's but they don't have the Door Jam Vent Louvers. The resto was never finished since the quarters were put on (car sitting in garage past couple decades) and I want to have the body shop install them if it should have been equipped before painting. This is an orig 68 FB 350ci 2bbl with 2-spd Auto, AC.
Thanks in advance! |

my early '68 convertible Firebird does not have vent louvers. Typical of early convertibles, don't know when it started (date wise). Cammer would know for sure.

To be honest Ive never nailed it down on the flow thru vents. Ive seen more without than with for 68
When was the car built?

Mine didnt have them, so when I replaced the quarters I had to fill in the cutouts.
I always thought verts didnt get the louvers

Could it have to do with which plant assembled the car?

I don't think I have the vin anymore. I may see the car again as it was sold to someone local. I think it was a late may assy but not positive. I'll check my photos when i get a chance to see if any show door jamb.
