It was a 4 speed, not an automatic.

So, I guess that means that it is possibly the #36? I saw a thread on it and sent the owner a message to see if he knows any of the history on the car.

#36 Would be my guess.

I found out last night that he actually was one of the ones that purchased the car in 1970. Does this still go along with #36?

I don't know very much about the history of #36, but since it's a FG, 4sp car originally from Gibb - it has a higher probability of being dealer transferred to another dealer.

I'm just guessing it was one of the ones that did not sell in 69... Didn't they have a hard time selling them at first? I thought I remembered reading somewhere that about 30 unsold cars were returned to Chevy and it took until the early 70s to sell them off.

Yes, that is correct. I would speculate that your dad's car was one of the cars sent back, and dealer transfered from Gibb to another dealer.
I vaguely recall that #36 was found in MD or VA, and had it's vin mis-registered with the state. I'm not sure that the subsequent owners found out which dealer it was sold from. Does your dad have any paperwork from the car, old registrations, insurance papers, loan documents... anything?
