#1 First "production" 4.2 date

Post by Tech396 » Wed Apr 22, 2026 5:18 pm

I'm researching my car # 1017* and have a question about the late 64 production date. Mine was Oct 15
Does anyone have info on a specific date for when the first run started? Before you say " why does it matter" I'm only curious for nerdy reasons.
My books only state "Oct"
How many other early 4.2s are out there, and what are the dates?
Cheers

Thanks, I wasn't aware I could search that site by production date. Now I am :)
