The fender tag would be in the engine bay on the drivers side inner fender apron.  It will be about 2"x3" with a bunch of letter/number combos. 
The build sheet is a multi colored piece of paper that would most likely be pushed in the springs under the rear seat or on the rear seat back. 
could also be behind or under the front seats. 
It could also be taped behind the glove box

Thanks for the very interesting info Hunter!

I'll try to find that paper and also take a pic of the data plate.  Do I just pull the rear seat up if needed?

Found this tags in the car.
No color paper under the front seats or in the back of them. First time they have been opened since new.

Do these metal tags have some of the valuable Info?

Still have to look in the back seat for the paper.

Was thinking about the metal tags in the seats when I asked if they had valuable info.


Car needs good cleaning I know!   Sorry

Anyone knows how to lift the back seat?    Just pull up hard?

Back rest?

there are two bolts that hold the top of the rear seat.  They are located between the two seats.
The lower seat pushes back and unhooks from two hooks, one on each side.
In this picture of the drivers side rear you can see the rectangle mount for the bolt and the "hook" for the lower seat.

The little square tag is an inspectors tag with a specific inspectors stamp on it.  I can't make out what number/letter the stamp has.

Could you post another picture of the little square tag as well as a pic of the import tag.

That is a super cool car!  Glad it retains all it's tags.

the tags in the seats are going to give you date's of when the seats were made.  Not necessarily specific to the car but definitely helps to know they were the original seats in the car.  I've not yet nailed down the decode dating of the seats yet.
