don't forget the quality of build in those days was not very good. it is not uncommon for this to be perfectly normal with one side of the car having a different amount of clearance than the other. usually, most complain about this on the rear tire clearance being up to one inch variance from side to side on the outside quarter to tire clearance. but it also happens on the front. a disc conversion can sometimes accent this if it spreads the wheel mounting surface outward. as has been said, check several key parts and compare dimensions. if nothing is damaged and the car hasn't been in an accident, likely you have a factory quality build issue/error. if so, you may or may not wish to rectify this, depending on the amount of effort required, and if it will even be beneficial to do so.
