    Was argent offered as a grill finish on models other than SE and A66 models?

    Was argent used on the tail panel of the A66, and if not, what finish was applied?

    Only JS (R/T) and JH with A53 (Trans Am package) were black. The others were argent. The rear would be body color unless it had the A63 molding group.

    All the R/T cars I have seen with the bumblebee stripe have the stripe color carried over to the rear above the tail lights as my A66 car is. Do you believe this is correct on an A66 car with a bumblebee stripe?

    No, but it is a popular modification and/or commonly made mistake. Also of note, the stripes were painted before the rest of the car.

    Cool, it's got the bench seat with arm rest. Those are pretty rare. I really like mine. That way my wife can sit next to me while cruising.

    It’s great that the seller found the fender tag; it will be an invaluable asset for documentation and restoration. Can you post some more photos of your new prize?

    You’re car is looking very nice, I’m curious do you have your fender tag? I’d love to see the options list.
