The owner removed the VIN (616462)and Trim Tag many years ago, and junked the car. The owner retained the bill of sale, dash bezel, the doors, a fender and possibly the transmission. The owner told each of us the same story, that there was no body and it was junked 20 years ago in northern NJ. These items were for sale, however, approx. 6 people passed on the deal because there was no firewall - much less an entire car. One person considered buying the items as memorabilia, and to prevent a rebody, but the price was prohibitive for that purpose.

About a month ago, I received word that somebody in NY claimed to have bought these items from the orig owner. Additionally, the claim is that the original body was found and pulled from a junk yard after 20+ years even though the orig owner did not remember where the body went. The plan is to restore the car, not sure if it will be done as the HH or factory.

Take it for what it's worth, but beware

Just saw this post back from 2004. This now makes a lot more sense and makes me feel better. Knowing that 2 10/10 COPOs were sold by Wallace, one being a 4 speed and one being an automatic. Mine has the hole for the clutch and the automatic slapshift, so no idea what this car has gotten itself into over the years. Thanks again for all of your assistance in solving this mystery. I just didn't want to do a normal resto on a car with historic value.

Yea, I'd probably shift focus away from trying to determine if your car is the HH, and put all your energy on determining if its a COPO.....

The HH story is better left with the current seller in NY.
