The guy that wrecked the car is a friend of mine. He did sell the original parts to the current owner including the original cowl. Since the cowl did not have numbers stamped into it more than likely the radiator support was missing the number also. I've seen more than a few cars that didn't have the body numbers stamped into them. Some got missed at the factory. These days when the numbers and documentation mean so much, that is not a good thing.

The other strange item is that it's purportedly a 4 speed U code. Someone went to some great efforts to convert it to Automatic and I don't see the zbar bracket which would still be there if it was a 4 speed car even if it was converted into an auto.

Sadly many of the great options are gone with this one....

The car had the whole front clip swapped out, obviously from an automatic car  :dunno:
