I knew someone would ask me that.
Yes,she is an early build.
From what my friend remembers (he was just a kid at that time), his Dad bought it fall of 1969.
During the 80's the car was "fixed up" and the original fenders were replaced with fiberglass units and the tag is long gone.
The car is all numbers matching.
I cannot remember the casting dates from the motor/trans right about now.
Despite the loss of the fender tag,the car is a family heirloom.More sentimental value than anything.From day one it remained in the family.
