I've added the return fuel line and have a long list now. Thanks guys.
I'm not familiar with the extra solenoid wire never having had a 6-pack car. What color is it and what type of end connector does it have?

I'm fairly certain it is blue...attached
is a factory pic from the brouchure. It looks black in the photo, but it is blue. It branches off the ballast resitor input wire.

It should have a title with an M in the VIN and a matching VIN. Unless you think it's a fake title and VIN, there's really no question.
its not hard to swap out a dash with the vin tag still attached to a car it doesn't belong to...
you need to verify the body stampings matching them
to the vin to be sure what the car body is and even that isn't
fool proof...

Really? Chrysler threw in a free grill with them?! That's got to be a rare piece to have today.... 
Charcoal or gas?

While all of the things above are valid indicators of a true A12 car you have to remember it is 40 plus years old and a lot can happen to a car in that time.
The key thing is the M engine code in the VIN. Don't confuse it withe the 2 digit of the VIN as any 1969 RR or Bee will have an M there. It is the 5th digit.
As said above check the hidden VIN numbers to match the VIN plate and you are very likely assured it is real. However in 40 years it could have been front clipped, rear clipped or both and those numbers may not be there or if used parts were used it will have the VIN fron that donor car. Not to mention that there were some cars that the hidden numbers were mistakenly missed when but that was very rare.

Thanks for the advice guys. I've been through many a Mopar, just never an A12 car. This car has been parked for 30 years and I have a lot of confidence in the Mopar people who remember it as an original A12 back in the 70s and early 80's. I really don't expect any shenanigans since it has been sitting so long. I have more than enough information here mixed with my general Mopar knowledge to ID the car now. Thanks a BUNCH for the solenoid wire pic
