I would imagine that is what happened too. The car was parted out years ago per Jim's story and the car was put out to pasture. As time went on, the condition of a car worth saving changed, more parts became available, and this car was rebuilt. It will be interesting to see where the firewall was sectioned if this scenario is true.

It has nothing to do with beating Bergy down or his car. It has everything to do with making sure that this car is acurately noted. At some point, this car will come up for sale and I would hate for anyone get taken on a car with issues. IMO, without the original firewall, the car is a rebody and should be noted as such. Im not sure what anyone could do to make the car more than that unless someone was up to funny business. The heart of the car is gone, thats a fact.

I sent Bergy pics from 2000. Whether they help or not who knows. I sent them to him because if it were me with that car right now, I would want all the info I could get also. Now, FWIW, my story from 2000 briefly: Seller wanted $6200. VIN tag was on the car with incorrect rivets and rivets put in from the wrong direction IIRC. A check of the cowl VIN revealed the other VIN. That was enough for us. We were not going to spend $6200 for a Yenko VIN plate put on a different body. Without checking further for other confidential VINS, we stopped right there. The numbers behind the heater box were not checked by us. Now that I look at the picture, there is a broad seam with what looks like seam sealer above the heater box. You guys look at it and let us know if that is a factory seam. Is it still there? Is it factory? Was something put in at that location? Who knows. Was the heater box confidential VIN ever checked? Does it match the cowl VIN? Any evidence of firewall sheetmetal work? I hope all works out well for Bergy.

There should be a seam-sealed area above the heater box from the factory, that is where the three metal parts come together. Without seeing the pics, are you saying there is a second seam sealed line above the heater box?

BTW, was the car in Pine Grove, PA when you looked at it?

the seam above the heater box looks factory to me. very dificult to reproduce that brushed look in the seam sealer. good luck with your research bergy!

Yes, Pine Grove. I was talking about 1 seam sealed area. Check out the pic.
