[b-man]

Finally sent in for my PHS documents for my long-neglected 1964 Le Mans convertible project.

Any help filling in the 'blanks' where the option codes were difficult to read would be appreciated. Some codes listed, even without question marks ??? as noted, may be inaccurate.

This car was originally finished in Saddle Bronze acrylic lacquer and equipped with a Saddle interior and a Saddle convertible top. It still retains the original drivetrain consisting of a 960-code 250 HP 2-barrel 326, 2-speed ST300 auto trans and 2.93 open rear. According to the PHS docs sent 7.00 x 14 Rayon WSW tires were original equipment.

Of interest is the fact that 17,559 Le Mans convertibles were produced in 1964, accounting for 7.47% of total "A" body production. Along the same line, 7,987 Tempest Custom convertibles were built along with 6,644 GTO convertibles, accounting for 3.39% and 2.83% of "A" body production respectively. So added up only 13.69% of all "A" body production consisted of convertible bodied cars.

The automatic trans standard 2-barrel 326 was produced in a quantity of 68,242 as compared to 17,317 manual-trans versions.
