I did some searching to see if there was an early title listed in their DMV but those attempts came back clear with no titles showing in NC. Also did an InstaVIN report which showed some title information from PA that dates back to 1970, but nothing earlier than that. This morning I called the number above and was transferred to a girl in Antique Vehicles for NC DMV.

They only keep records back to the 90's and that may be why earlier searches came up blank. She took the VIN and is going to request a MicroFilm search on the VIN to see if they have any earlier info on the car that may be in their older MF records. If it's there, she can update the file and share any previous info concerning an original title if it was in fact from NC. She told me it may take a while so I'll wait and see if anything comes from that request. I do appreciate the tip Mark, and will report back if I discover the original title, statement of origin or any possible dealer info.

Fingers are crossed. :scholar:

That doesn't make sense. I just went through this with the DMV a couple months ago with my 72 Chevelle, they do in fact keep records that far back. She found the original title and paperwork for mine complete with original owner information, but wouldn't share or send any information to me. Her excuse was a privacy act, and since I wasn't the original owner I was not entitled to any of the information. She said laws would only allow her to send this stuff to the original owner.

I hope you have better luck than I did.

Can't tell you what color they are because the PO fluffed the underside and painted it black when he put it back on the road prior to selling it. I'm about to pull the lines down and try and wash them up. The clips and fasteners will all be soaked in evapo rust to clean them up before going back on. With any luck the clips will show some more originality once cleaned up. The head markings on the bolts used on the rear frame rails are ER while the front sub frame has a couple mixed markings including an anchor style. Pics are from back of car to front.

great let me know what you find thanks

x2 on removing the engine, to much aggravation trying to work around it, you will be glad you did. And with that said you could paint the inner fenders at that point.
Now git er done Graeme :beers:

Mike

Ahhh I knew you guys were both gonna say that. :Charley:

The engine tilter was actually placed on the intake yesterday and I was leaning on doing that. Also thinking of a cam swap and some other maintenance. I'll pull the motor later in the week. :naughty:

I know right. I've been trying to tell myself to stay grounded and not go too far with this thing. I'll have another good look at it tomorrow and see how just how much detailing I want to do around the engine to make a final decision on that front.

Pull it!!!!

That way you can access the body mount bolts easily.
