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.

The Red Painted Drums were part of the Rally One Option in '66 Only and had nothing to do with the Fender liners.

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;

Ok, scrolling back in this section I ran across a post that 1100, tripower 4sp cars had the red liners installed. If this was accurate, I would assume that would be in the initial run of cars distributed to dealers? Similar to the 2000 69 judge pattern cars?
