    I agree with Don, I looked it up in my book and I think the O has to be a Q?

    doesnt have a vinyl top, and apparently it never did. just what i was told.

    they were real adamant about it too. was there ever such an animal?

    Is it a painted top?
    If it is, the 9d would be the paint color for the top.

    My 71 4dr is Grabber Blue with a white painted roof that shows the two paint codes on the door tag together. On Ford's with a vinyl roof, the second code after the paint color will tell what color and material the vinyl roof was originally.
