Re: Trying to find out as much a posabul
Start by going through all the paperwork that came with the car. Was there a vinyl pouch in the glove box? That's where the owner's manual and original warranty folder would have been stored.
There's a tag in the engine bay on the firewall behind the power brake booster. Post the information on the tag. Someone here will be happy to de-code it for you. You may be able to research ownership history on it. Every state is different; some retain history many years back. Some do not. Congrats on the acquisition!

Trying to find out as much as possible
Plus you can also click on the NCRS Historical Service link above to find out what dealer you car was billed to and probably sold at, often helpful when searching a vehicle's past history...please note the cost is $50 and not all cars are in the system.

Re: Trying to find out as much as possible
Looks like old-school L50s on the rear! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] very nice car! A little tinkering in the past but just small stuff! Congrats!
Looks like a SS/RS 396 to me.
