Flint cars are not known to have the typical build sheet as most other plants. However, the car has never been apart so we don't yet know what's in it. We did find a trim paper denoting the bucket seats and interior trim code, that was just under the back seat as we looked quick for seat belts that had fallen behind the seat.

Yep, they're even more rare than Arlington sheets. Just pullin your chain a little. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Nice detail shots.

I saw the car on ebay, considered bidding, what a cool car! Great entry price too.

Looks like a fairly complete car as well which will make your life a lot easier! Just curious if it has the early or late hood on it. Little late for the early hood but I have not looked at enough Flint cars out there to know for sure. I have several hundred LS6 build sheets but think I only have one Flint sheet. Good color as well!

How often did the bellhousing receive the VIN instead of the block? I had never seen that before... but thinking about it for a minute, it could happen very easy!

We spoke with Chris White concerning the bellhousing stamping from Flint and he's seen several cars with the same stamp location, so it's not an issue with this car for us. As for Ricks' question, I'll try to post a picture of the hood for you as soon as I can.

Jim, unfortunetly the floors are shot and the trunk pan is a little weak too. The speakers are all intact with the radio and this is still the original lacquer paint on it

looks ok from the outside, oh well, the paintless dent guy would have a fit anyway straightening the dents ...

truly a time capsule

Rick, I took a full picture of underneath the hood, it's in the photobucket link.

Cool! Assuming it is original, this car has the very hard to come by early assembly line hood. Though it looks rough in the photo, hopefully it is in fairly good shape and is repairable.
Thanks for taking the photo.
Rick
