Hello All,

 

Just wondering if anyone could help us determine what year our car is, a 67 or 68 KE10.

 

The frame number is KE10-272747

 

Would really appreciate the assistance.

 

Cheers

Dave & Ange

From the VIN seems to me like a '68.

 

Can you get some pictures up? Easiest way to determine

OK - shall do. Will put some originals and some current pics in our profile. Thanks for tip Jono.

 

What differences are we looking for between a 1967 & 1968

Guard indicators - Early ke10 ones are smaller profile, Later are bigger

 

Front stone tray lights - Early are smaller and clear, Later are bigger and orange

 

Guard badges - Some later ke10's/11's had Corolla 1200 badges

 

Dash - Early ke10's had an entirely different dash compared to the later model

 

Interior Door handles - Early had a twist door handle similar to a window winder, later model had just a conventional pull leaver

 

C pillar - Later model had plastic vents on the rear pillar behind the rear quarter window

 

Tailights - Early and later tailights are different, early are slightly smaller with the reflector being in the centre and oval, Later model had the reflector next to the reverse light and is square

 

 

Mind you, The early ke10 carried on into 1968 but with the later model dash, So they're still ke10's. Then came ke10-b which has all the later model fixtures but still with the 1100cc 1k-c motor

Then ke11 came out, with has all of those late model parts and a 1200cc 3k-c engine

 

Judging by your vin i reckon it'd be an early 1968 still with the original ke10 features etc just the next year. As it's supposed to be 1967's are up to about ke10-250000 and then after that is the next year

I've got the id book saved on my computer at work... I think it changes to 68 at KE10-260001. I'll confirm on Monday if you like :)

 

I'm curious to see if you have vents in the rear pillars and the squared out gauge pod... my guess is no on both.

 

I think the early 68's are the same as the 67 (as Jono said) but not 100% sure.

Yup it's a 68 (KE10-260001 - KE10-412000).

Jono & Ken,

 

Thank you soo much for for your assistance on this one. And yep there is no doubting she is a 68 now. Thanks Ken for the link, a great piece of information to be kept. Maybe you could post it somewhere as I notice some others are not sure either.

 

In answer to your questions, we don't have vents in the pillars nor the squared out guage pods

 

Here is the funny bit. As Ange is born in 67, she always wanted to believe the car was the same. We had Nana Car 67 KE10 T-Shirts made. Guess I will be getting new ones done!! ;)

 

Thanks again

Cheers

Dave

I saw the photo of your car, and it has the later ke11 grill instead of the ke10 one. I don't know if this bothers you or not it was just an observation

Thanks Jono,

 

Don't suppose you could post a photo of a KE10 & KE11 grill, so I can see the difference. I dare say Nana may have had a little binglie in her car. As the front left guard has a corolla 1200 badge on it.

 

Any thoughts on where I can buy decent mirror to replace the aftermarket plastic one that is on the Driver's side door and another Corolla Badge for the LH Guard

 

Cheers

Dave

These 2 are both ke10

 

 

 

 

This is Ke11 (The Later one)

 

Had a look on the specs sheet Ken posted and can see the difference.

 

I have had a look at some older pics of the car, and it has had this grill on for awhile. So as mentioned before - I think Nana may have had a little crash

 

Cheers

Dave

You sure do know Rollas!!!! Any thoughts on the mirror and Corolla Badge?
