Engine & Drivetrain
289-4V A-code original engine
Near as I can tell, this car still has it's original engine. The date codes for the engine block, heads, and manifolds, are all consistent with a stamped engine assembly date of January 10, 1966. This date is consistent with the scheduled build date of January 20, 1966
