Judging Question on a '67 Jack

[James S.]

Would a non-dated '67 jack be judged correct for a 400 HP convertible built on February 3, 1967, or do I need to obtain a B7 dated jack?

Jim - While the jack date stamping started with the calendar year (Jan 1967), it took some time for them to make it to the production facility, into inventory, and then to production. For a Feb 3 car I would not expect to see an B7 date stamp. I just don't think the jack could be made on Feb 1 and then make it to the production facility and into your car by Feb 3. Maybe a January stamped jack but more than likely, Jan and early Feb car received jacks without the month/year of manufacture stamped on them. Hopefully, someone with a early '67 calendar year car with an original jack will provide some confirmatory info. Pete

My '67 has a build date of January '67 and my jack is not dated either.

I have a four star Bowtie car assembled in late March-#15399- the jack is not dated.

Thanks for the responses. I will assume that dated jacks were intermittantly installed for a month or so after 1/1/67. I guess I will find out if the judges see it that way.
