Kris with the hood open go to the drivers side of the car by your outside mirror. Look at the back of the booster at the top there is a tab that should have the number stamped on it.

I don't know the motor mount numbers off the top of my head but everything else seems to be matching up.

Don't bother looking for a build sheet Norwood cars don't have them. Keep the money though.

Sure looks like a legit RS/Z28 and the X3 helps. Are you going to put it back to stock condition with original color?

Darren-
Forgive my ignorance, but what do the other codes (besides the X3) represent? Is there a place where all these hints are written down? I have a Norwood 68 that was just a 327 car, but don't know what other options it had. Is there a way to tell? I know it had a console, the holes are there. What else can I find out by marks on the body and such?
