Look on the passenger side of the motor in front of the head there is a little pad that sicks out... It should be about 1/2" X 3" or so. On that pad should be some letters and numbers, write down all that you see.. The car looks like it was driven hard, with the slapper bars, no power brakes, and a 4 speed SWEET.. Mark

Reid is this a sticker on the front of this traction bar in this picture??? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/down...?Number=169996 I cant make it out, but it looks as if something was on there to protect it from the rust..

I am not near the car tonight so I will check tomorrow and see what I can find. What about the emblems and ideas on those. I am aware they could have maybe purchased them. Are they similar to the ones used on the Nickey cars?
Also does the vin# number tell you guys anything on the car? |

Take a picture of the engine stamp on the front passenger side of the motor right in front of the head and also take one straight down showing the steering box and linkage...

The emblems look like the ones that would have been installed on a 1967 427 Impala, so I can see them using the emblems, but anyone could go to a dealership and order them from the parts dept. I'm not saying this was the case with this car but you need more evidence like the engine pad info, casting numbers on the back of the block, what heads are on the motor, intake, etc. With no paperwork and no way to look at the cars history (THANK YOU HOMELAND SECURITY), its going to take a deeper look at the characteristics of this particular car...

thanks guys it is a neat car and would be nice to know much more history on it. From what the prior owner said the car was drag raced locally for some time early in its life. I am calling a guy that used to race a ss/aa dart at the same track in the same era. He actually has some footage of the races. We might get some info there. I will get those photos asap.
