Steve,

Believe me, I've looked. Around here, most of the late 50s vehicles went to the scrap yards years ago. I'm probably going to have to post a "wanted" ad here at PY and CP.

OK guys, I might have found a good candidate. Will probably go to take a look this weekend. Just wanted to double-check that I'm reading the date code correctly.

The owner says the date code is K036, which I read to be November 3, 1966. Sounds about right for a model year '67 car, right?

Other numbers... Engine ID code is XJ. Owner says he can read "86133" from the block casting code (probably 9786133?).

Not this matters in this case. but I believe the "k" would signify Oct ("I" was skipped for 67 blocks from 66)

Thanks, Jeff. Glad to learn another interesting tidbit.
