64 Rear Deck Emblem Location?

[lars]

Does anyone have factual information on the location of the rear deck "Stingray" nameplate (rear, passenger side of rear "deck" area) for a '64 Roadster? (Coupe location is different) If you have an original, untampered-with roadster, could you send me (or post) photos of the emblem with a tape measure showing location from deck lid centerline and from the rear edge of the car? Any info would be great!

Would a 63 roadster be OK to measure off?

I'm not sure if they moved the location from one year to the next, but I've measured a '63, a non-original '64, and 2 66's and they've all been different. But I have been able to get the correct measurement for the '64 Roadster. For anyone else needing the info, here is the "real" spec as provided by John Hinckley:

Using the "Sting Ray" bar at the bottom of the emblem as the reference, the outboard edge of the bar is 6-1/2" measured laterally from the raised feature line on the quarter panel, and the bottom edge of the bar is 5-1/2" measured fore-aft from the rear edge of the rear deck.
