1967 326 CI V-8 Factory Tag
 
Pulled this off a new LeMans when I worked at Kole Pontiac back in 1967. Thought it was worth posting.

Sorry Keith It was almost 48 years ago. I would have been undercoating the car but don't recall where it was attached.
Question Keith, Where would my Kansas City built '67 GTO motor have been assembled ? The motor serial # (047352) is no where near my 2 other '67's (539450 & 547189) built the same week, only at the Pontiac Plant. it's a weird coincidence that my first new '67 and the 2 converts I now own were built just days apart.

Those are cool, Bill!

Did you keep any other memorabilia?

:)

What's the block date codes and engine codes on the engines?

See my EUN Search page:

Here's another item. When I was working for the Phone Co. I used do get to walk around in here and watch them stamping body parts. GM closed this plant in the early 90's the building was torn down and now its a UPS Hub Site.

Thank you; all PMD engines were assembled cast, machined and assembled in Pontiac Michigan.

You've been there! ;)

This factory photo of a 1966 "YS" engine has the tag like the one I submitted at the start of this thread attached to the top of the trolley.

Speaking of the factory photo of the 66 engine, does anyone know where to get a good copy of the picture. The one attached is nice but has a lot of pixels.

This was originally taken from Paul Zazzarine's book "Pontiac's Greatest Decade" 1959-1969: The Wide Track Era.
