Nice car Brad. Love that paint job. What does she go like?

Is that the one that was for sale at York? Originally had a little slant six engine if I remember right.

I hope it has the bigger suspension and brakes to cope with the 440?

Are you sure? I seem to remember it was a /6 car. What is the VIN because that will tell.

I must be confused with another car?

Old age or something.

Then again. The build sheet found in the car does not always match the car. So worth checking anyway.

There is a VIN decoder in "Retoration and Misc" in the sticky topics.

Despite the VIN decoder you might want to write the tag out like this example....

A little off topic here (sorry Brad) but Dave, do you know what otions would make it onto the fender tag and why? It seems that certain options (like engine interior paint etc. ) are always on there but others arent necessarily mentioned. Whats the rule of thumb?
