Sorry for the delay... This car has an interesting history an I wanted to get the car home and in my shop so I could look it over before posting any more information. I brought the car home yesterday and am still unpacking parts and taking inventory but I have verified the matching VIN numbers on the engine and tranny.
Now the story: This car was known locally as the "Bonnie and Clyde" car. It had been on the receiving end of a pissed off husband's revenge. The car's owner was fooling around with his neighbor's wife AND new Harley Davidson so when the husband found out, he went ballistic.... literally. The car was shot full of holes from every angle with multiple firearms including shotguns, rifles and pistols. The PO reported over 200 holes in the car when he took possesion in 1994. Most every panel, fixture and attachement had been targeted so he purchased a rust free parts car from which he harvested all of the fixtures, fenders, firewall, hood and doors. The front inner fenders, rear quarters and right trunk drop were replaced with NOS panels.
The PO worked on the car for several years but stopped working on the car when he moved. Most of the bullet holes in the metal are now gone, but he had not done any of the fiberglass work so they remain in the deck lid and 1/4 scoops (see pictures). The 1/4 scoop pretty much say's it all and will become my avitor for this site!!
I still have a lot of research to do and more parts to unpack, but all in all this is a very solid car with an interesting history. I'll post more as I learn more.
thx
