Lots of good ideas as always, but my car had nothing but the fender tag and vin which I decoded already. Pumpkin was gone, as was all the interior so I know from the fender tag but no more. There is nothing forward of the firewall. I was trying to figure out if it even had a posi because a 383 RT doesn't guarantee it and I don't have that A31 code for the 3.91 posi. Thought the build sheet would have all of it if you could get a copy for your car based on the VIN. I just dont know if any of that data is preserved anywhere.
Just as another point of discussion, why is it frowned on to take the identity of a demolished high value car and transplant it into a perfect but less impressive build as long as all the parts are the same? If I had the correct wiper motor with the right numbers but it didn't work and I took it to a shop and they replaced the guts with all new parts from wherever and put the old shell back on, everyone would call it restored part and be ok with it. Same thing for the whole car part by part isn't it?? My own take is you have cars that were never touched other than wash and wax, and then all others regardless of how much is replaced as fixed/restored.
