Re: 1968 Door Handles

My Dec.'67 (E) convertible both handles are #2. One has cast 68404 R and a C within a triangle. The other one is 68405 L also a C within a triangle.

Hi Brian,

My left side handle broke earlier and I see that 68405 would be the left side, my mistake. How were you able to check these numbers with the handles on the car or do you have an extra #2 left side handle you would like to sell?

Joe,

I'm not sure where the pic originated. It may have been Bill Vyn or Terry Buchanan. Reba might know.

Believe it came from Sal Carbone

Here is a set of each if you need pictures of the older styles. My car (March) has the #1 style. The #'s are 68404 with an R and the a 68405 L on the fat ones and the same #'s on the thin ones with no L R markings. Three have that diamond with the C in it. and one no C in the diamond.

Re: 1968 Door Handles

September 1967 built has the #2 (thick) handles.
I agree that #2 was the "early" handle, #1 was the "mid" handle, and that #3 was the "late" handle.

Terry, I might have an extra #2 left handle. I'll check and let you know.
