With this information you should be able to extrapolate an APPROXIMATE build date of your car.[/u][u]

Yeah A-bomb, hand grenade and horseshoe "close" guesses and none of them can be confirmed with little or no documentation But then there's the missing computer data tapes from the same computers that generated the broadcast sheets.......................................and that is from an inside source, I love a good mystery and it includes NASA too

Good news so far is the car is fairly unmolested. The engine and 4-spd are matching numbers and the exhaust manifolds, intake and carb have the correct casting numbers. I do not believe the engine has ever been out of the car/rebuilt and it seems to have the original clutch/pressure plate in it. Maybe the broadcast sheet is there somewhere. Also, I have the original bill of sale that shows the original owner bought it in July of '69 so I know it was built before that!! Last edited by VITC_GTX; 08/07/19 04:45 PM.

It's 105 here today and I didn't turn the air conditioner on in the shop Sorry for the delay. Took a quick look and couldn't find a date stamped anywhere. I'll look when I have it on the lift next time.
