Re: 1971 Chevelle SS LS3 - 38,000 Actual Mile Survivor
Thanks again everyone! The center caps are the correct "raised logo" GM center caps, and the lug nuts also look to be the correct lug nuts that came on the car from the factory. We have yet to look for a build sheet in the car, but the original window sticker confirms the car to be an original stripe car. After looking at the stripes this morning, they appear to be all original on the entire car and have not been touched up(you can still see were the factory over spray is from when they painted the stripes at the factory with the rear window out, underneath the package tray). This Chevelle was built at the Arlington assembly plant. After doing some research, I found out that many of the assembly plants did paint the stripes on squaring the edges like this car. Also, Arlington cars are know for the build sheets being under the tar paper beneath the carpet. They are rare to be found in Arlington built cars, and are usually unreadable because of the tar paper. I am still unsure if I want to take pieces of the car apart to look for the build sheet, because the interior of the car is really untouched(I honestly don't think the bottom of the back seat has been out since it was new). If the car didn't have the original window sticker and dealer check in sheet, etc. I would be determined to find the build sheet if it had one in it. But, being that the car has other paperwork supporting its options and authenticity, I think it may be best to leave the interior alone.
Thanks, MY73Z
