Default Re: 1970 GTO ID HELP....

Thanks and will keep everyone updated. I do not even know where to look for the engine ID info.. Plenty of books on Chevys, none on GTOs. The current owner bought it in Norway 25 years ago from the original Norwegian owner and has export/import docs, etc.. Was not able to really crawl around the car as I was there to look at a 3 owner, unrestored original 1954 corvette, also brought back from Norway! Can't afford the vette but a nice car also.

Go here and scroll down and the pics will show you where the engine ID stamp should be: http://wallaceracing.com/enginesearch4.htm

Approx. 2,100 auto 'Verts built in '70. Post pics/questions and I'll see if I can help.

The owner assures me it is original, numbers matching and everything appears unmolested and correct under the hood and interior, except for missing rear valance and items mentioned above. I am going for a more thorough look tomorrow. Some rust concerns that need to be looked at before I pull the trigger. Thanks for your help, greatly appreciated.
