1969 Tank Sticker Code Questions

[Jeff M.]

Hello, I have started decoding my original 69 427/390 tank sticker and I have a few codes at the bottom that I cannot figure out what they represent. They are side by side toward the bottom of the tank sticker next to last as options above N40 Power steerting. They are 02401AA and 02684AA. If it helps the other options are ZQ4, L36, G81(3:70), M21, U69, N40. Also, I cannot decode the dealer (563) or zone (09). Any help would be greatly appreciated. It is a very original car and I am going to take it to Bloomington to be judged for a Survivor. Thanks Jeff

Big guess, could one be for Tinted Glass? 2401AA

My 68 is 02A01AA for Tint.

Thanks Jack, My car actually does have tinted glass, and all of the glass is original so that could be. The big problem is down at the location where theses numbers are, the area that would describe what it is was already too far gone to read. Thanks Again, Jeff

Re: 1969 Tank Sticker Code Questions

The tank sticker for my 69 also has the 2A01AA code, which is "tinted glass". The second code you mention is actually 2G68AA, which I believe signifies the axle ratio. The code for my car looks to be 2G59AA, which is the 3:36 ratio. My guess would be that yours signifies the 3:70 ratio you mention.
Hope this helps!

Jeff,

Try the Dealer/Zone database on this Board if you haven't done so. I found the following among the data. Any chance it's a 565 instead of a 563 on your tank sticker?
