Vaughn Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 This car was ordered without the power steering. This is the second 4 speed that I have had with no power steering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbarnette Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 17 hours ago, Vaughn said: How about no options, This is my 1971 350 4 speed, bench seat never been restored or painted. It pretty stripped down with not much for extras. Paint code is 49 -11 or the D-99 option. Trim is not painted. It has no power steering but I love to drive this one. For some reason it seems to "float" a little less without the power steering option. Just don't get too close on a steep hill. Beautiful collection you have there! I really like this one!

I would think these cars have to be in the single digits of how many made. You don't happen to have a build sheet do you? I am guessing there is a bypass code on the somewhere to delete ps.

Paul Bell Posted May 2 Author Share Posted May 2 The only option delete code I could find is for the heater which was used through 1968. I think when a car came standard with power steering or power brakes and the buyer specified to delete it, he would receive back in the price of the vehicle what it would cost to install the options on a car that didn't come with them. But I can't find any codes that would pertain to deleting these options. I would assume the dealership placing the order would have to specify to the factory that it wasn't wanted and when the build sheet was put together the correct codes were put in the boxes.

Vaughn Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I do have the build sheet and various other documentation. I am on the road, but I will post those on Saturday when I get home. This was a customer ordered car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughn Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I love the gentleman's address, #44 Monte Ave 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Vaughn, when I first looked at your build sheet I thought it came from the same dealership as my Monte so I had to look at my build sheet. Mine was also a Baltimore plant but it went to Gilbert Chevrolet rather than Gearhart Chevrolet. Yes, it is neat he lived on Monte Ave.. rob 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughn Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 That would have been a coincidence if they were sold at the same dealership Rob. How far apart are the vin numbers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality Vaughn they were quite different. Yours is a 71 and mine is a 70. The original build date for mine is the last week in June of 1970 so they are about a year apart. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
