65 Differential Tag

[Don H.]

Please give opinions on which of these differential tags you consider to be correct for a 1965 with posi. The JG says the red plastic is correct but I found the metal on my fairly original car. Thanks, Don H.

My 65 has the original red plastic tag pictured above and my 60 has the metal tag.

Re: 65 Differential Tag

I have access to a November built 65 that's very original and from memory it's the metal tag on the early 65's. I will double check later today and let you know as this part may have changed during the 65 production.

Re: 65 Differential Tag

I agree with Tim, I think most of the 65's I've built had the plastic tag, the wording changed on them over the years too. Some 65's also came with the much weaker R&P carried over from the 63-64 run.

Re: 65 Differential Tag

My June of '65 Corvette has the red plastic tag. I believe the metal tags were on 1963-64 vehicles but could have been carried over to early '65 production.

Re: 65 Differential Tag

My early February 65 coupe has the round metal tag. The differential is original to this low mileage car.

Re: 65 Differential Tag

My Sep built 65 has the metal tag. The differential date is 2 Sep 64.

Re: 65 Differential Tag

It sounds like it was a mix. My car was built May 12, 1965 and as I said before, the car is fairly original. I could see someone removing the tag but found it unusual they would replace it (if the original was plastic) with a metal tag. Thanks for the replies, Don H.
