Would be awesome if the trans was original as not many made and hopefully the rear is BV coded as it was built with a 4:10. Restore those 427 emblems.

Would the code for rear end be on the passenger side tube. Saw one once on a Camaro few years back.

Steve, this car is a roller right now.
Not sure how to attend a show with a car that does not drive.

Partial VIN's would be located under the blower motor on the firewall, and on top of the right side of the firewall, under the cowl panel, which is removeable. Some panels have date codes, which can be found, but how to decode them is a topic I will leave for Nova experts.
Is there acway, O can purchase any document copies, of the history from Fred Gibb. ?

I will see if Ann has the dealer prep sheet for this car. I am doubting it but will check tonight when I get home.
