Hi Folks:

Finally hooked up and went to see this car, couldn't get any photos as car was stuffed in a garage surrounded by other "treasures" (junk). Guy bought the car and drove it the summer of 1999 and then disassembled it. Right now the car is a rolling frame with body attached, front sheet metal, doors, motor and tranny out. All hardware in a tool box. Ex-Wife (whose garage car is stored at) has out fenders, rad, doors, bumpers and everything else into the bed. Frame and doors look great, rear quarters have some rust bubble around rear lips, but they look good enough to have a good metal man to repairs these than to put in new quarters. Sides of car appear straight and frame is great.
Grill has 396 emblem and looks real striaght. All stainless appears to be there.
I pulled these numbers today:
number on motor pad: T04071V 72155250
motor cast into rear 3902406 also cast on back is gm2 and "pass"

heads both read gm5t and say "Pass". also one read 8909802 and the other had c307 in it.

Turbo 400 had plate that read 68C 244 that I believe is the correct Turbo 400 for a 1968 396, built 244th day of the year. Serial number cc-68-2699.

Rear End was a 10 bolt (10 bolts on rear cover) To the left of the cover was a arrow pointed to about 2 o'clock and "cfd 2" next to that. To the right of the cover was 99 978508.

Wheels were Rallys. 3 had h-2 K-1-3 which I believe are 1973 Kelsey hayes and the fourth had a h and K-1-2 that I believe is a 1972 Kelsey Hayes.

Plate on top of Firewall had ST 68 -138839
09D 0161172504452
TR 765 B70 (I think can't read my own writing) VV paint code.

Motor rebuilt but has been sitting a long time. This looked to be a really nice car before this guy took it apart. I can buy the car for cheap as I said and I am interested in your thoughts. The disassembly and the sitting for 9 years scares me but this car looks like a easy resto. Any thoughts are appreaciated.
