Well, here's the latest update on "the project". I definately think this car had some work done on the front end. Saw some GM parts labels on the 2 front bumpers brackets, couldn't read. Found a parts label on center support behind grill that comes up by the hood latch #3938635. Saw the word ACE on the inside of the front bumper??..now for some technical info:
Brake Booster Tag 342(front) 920(back)
Rear Stamp CBT 1028 G1 E
Trans Tag C70W 276
70 CW 1424
The tag is mint..it was covered with some oil and grease that protected it
engine T1218 CTY with VIN cowl tag 3rd week of jan/70
732 19 19 A
build sheet was in rear seat..not much on it though..body number matches cowl tag..trim and paint match.. #1 box FLT #2 box ZJ1 #3 box ZL3 and that's it....
Starter..had a Delco Remy Re-manufactured label
1108430 4F26 1
found a wire on drivers side near washer bottle with a connector that looks like it is for the Low Washer Fluid Indicator light..don't know if this connector is on all cars or just those that ordered the Aux. Lighting???
Front disc brake calipers look original with the little blue plastic bleeder covers
yellow traction bars on back with some black paint sprayed on them..probably vintage Lakewoods
underside is incredible..very solid with just a light film of surface rust..looks like a little root-rot in pass side frt fender at the very bottom..typical Nova..
battery tray was shot..rust holes, but no problem underneath it.
everything is stripped down under the hood..next step is to clean and degrease engine bay and underside.
original style spiral shocks on front with factory labels
original riveted ball joints..rest of suspension looks factory.
hope to have some photos tomorrow to post. Thanks for watching..
