Wow, treasure trove for the new owner.
Cool that the build coincides with his birthday.
The assembly date stamp on the frame of my '66 Chevelle is my birthday and the build date of my '70 is the day before and it was shipped on my birthday.

He was REALLY excited about the parts haul. He had checked out the price of a used, original 1971 2bbl air cleaner and he couldn't find one for less than $250. At least all he has to find now is the lid. I have a vintage 4bbl lid that I was going to give him but it was around an inch too big.

The only part I kept from the haul was my father-in-law's "Oldsmobile" fender cover that he used, to work on the car. Something to lean on when wrenching.

Sounds like it was meant to be and the car went to the perfect home.

Very cool that the original parts were found. I would think that air cleaner lid is still hiding somewhere.

That's pretty crazy on the build date, same early 08C date as the '71 I sold recently, but it was from the Fremont Plant.
