1) Look at the build dates of the car, the VIN, the firewall tag, and the engine block and they all are in the normal casting/assembly time span for a 3rd week April 1969 car. If you cant have the original block, this is as close as you are ever going to get.
2) It's a survivor in factory black with the original paint and all it's original components including the silver grill.
3) It's in amazing shape and I'd love to own the darn thing if I win the lottery or the Superbowl pool.
