Tom,
Your car is nearly identical to my 69 XR7 convertible. Dark aqua matallic, white leather and aqua interior, originally 351 w/fmx and 3.00 non-lok. I have made a few mods to the powertrain, but the rest of the car looks basically stock. I hope to have the body finished and repainted by the end of May. You can check it out at

Good luck with the car,
Paul G.

Logan, you sure that the 65B code is a '69? That is my code too and I have a '67 XR7.
Skater, my trim code, i think, is 6B, sound right? Here's mine
65B D 6B 14C 51 0 1
I do know that the original owners took her home on April 19, 1967.

Was thinking, maybe 65B just means XR7 hardtop no matter what year? Not questioning you Logan just trying to figure it out for me.

A pigramage to Mecca
Well all, I am in preparation for a trip to Mecca tomorrow. If any of you are wondering to what I am referring, put your minds at rest. Mecca in the Western United States is the Portland Swap Meet and Antique show. It a venue of the highest caliber, dreams are made and shattered in a single haggle. Ambition for glory is so thick you could cut it with a wiper blade. The sausages and prerequisit draft of grog at 1000A stirs a collectors imagination like recalling the one that got away (usually the truth is it rusted away)
And be foremost advised friends, this pilgrimage is not for the promissory note challenged. They don't take Visa, Discover or American Express. I have a list and a wad and at 0330 I will start the 1969-XR7 and set off across this land of golden (or in my case white Corinthian) opportunity to collect treasures that would normally take my three months to overbid on at E-hole. I shall let you know my compatriots how the expedition faired upon my arrival @ 2200 tomorrow night.
Peace, and good bargains to all on the board!.

Sandra,
6B is the most popular trim with Nordic Blue. There were 1,191 built.
Your data plate decodes as:
Exterior Paint: Nordic Blue
Interior trim: Light Blue crinkle vinyl w/ Dark
Blue crinkle vinyl inserts
Production date: Match 14th, 1967
Ordering Sales District: Denver CO
Rear axle: 2.79:1 conventional
Transmission: 3 spd manual
The three speed is kinda rare too with less than 2,000 made total (1,937 to be exact).
Being so uncommon, it might be neat to get the Marti Report for this car. Go to http://www.martiauto.com for details.
Cheers,
Dan
