Good thing they look perfect.
Be careful, you'll be owning it after cleaning and driving it...

Pulled the back seats and looked under the carpet. No broadcast sheet found. Did some more vacuuming and cleaned the trunk. It looks just as solid as the rest of the sheet metal other than having been resprayed with the wrong trunk paint. The dark patches are pieces of the rubber mat's backing that were stuck to the floor.

Is this normal? Looks like they applied the factory door jam VIN sticker over a plastic body plug. I was able to gently pull the plug out and verify the VIN but that's crazy. The other side has a similar plug that has paint over it, I assume from the 1995 repaint.
BTW, the undersides of the doors are beautiful. No door-skin seam swelling anywhere.

LOL. Thanks for the offer. I will see what the future holds. Heading to DMV tomorrow morning to get it titled and registered here.
A friend is bringing over one of his buddies & wife to look at the car on Wednesday. He saw it at the cruise night on Saturday. We shall see...

I just don't understand why the BOP models of A bodies don't hold a value like a Chevelle. That car should bring low 30's in that condition. What a sweet machine to cruise with.

Success! We were able to get the car registered and titled today. I brought the wife with me to DMV as she has the power of attorney to sign the registration over for my father-in-law, but we were not going to do anything to it until the DMV lady told us EXACTLY where, and what to write. I have witnessed horror stories in person where someone wrote the wrong thing on the wrong line on a title and DMV voided it right there and made them contact the seller to order a duplicate title and start the entire process over again.
I also got a surprise when the clerk was running the VIN and said it has a prior registration in New Jersey! She said it shows it was in South Plainfield NJ in 1994 and showed 147,000 miles on the odometer. So the 96,430 is actually 196,430 and the new title reflects that as the correct mileage. That might confirm where it was painted because there is a piece of paper in the files that says "Paint 1995". Even with 196,430 miles that is only an average of 3,600 miles a year for 54 years. Now I'm waiting for UPS to deliver the new fuel tank sending unit tomorrow so I can get the gas gauge operating correctly again.
