Default Re: Original Owner 70 Monte Carlo SS454

Rick,
Well, now that I've had a little time to read into his build sheet, it appears as though he has somebody else's sheet in his car. A couple of the codes alerted me to this like the battery space had R59 and his originally had the heavy duty side post R79 I believe it was called. Also the paint code didn't match. It listed 17 which I believe is Shadow Gray and his firewall tag read 25 which is Astro Blue. Also in section 107 it listed a L48 350 4 bbl engine. Then I got to the bottom for the dealer code and compared it to what I though my zone a dealer code should be and it was different. It listed zone 22 and dealer 711. My area is zone 04 I believe and I still don't know now what the dealer code was. It says this car was shipped to Wilcox Motor Co. Jeffersonville, Indiana. So somebody with a Shadow Gray 350 car, I know where your build sheet is.

Back to the Monte. I don't have any pictures of it. I went there to look at his sheet and not take pictures. He kind of caught me off guard when he said he'd sell it because I had heard about the previous offer and that he didn't want to sell. I'd have to get a friend with a digital camera to take photos since I don't have one and I don't have a scanner for my computer. If you want one, let me know and I'll see what I can do. Maybe today, if you get back to me early enough. I need to break him the bad news about his build sheet anyway so I'll be talking to him again soon. The car appears to be complete except for missing the original spare tire. Motor appears to be complete top to bottom and a lot of the little detail tags are still visible on the car. Maybe e-mail me or leave me a PM if you want more info. I don't know what RPO CD-3 is? Maybe if you tell me I can tell you if it was on the car. I saw the Protecto Plate with his name on it and the dealer's but no dealer code. I would believe it is the correct Protecto Plate for his car. He has owned it since brand new. Took delivery in October 1969.
