Pete,
I don't think we tried in the past. I've always read the ads you posted to see if something was there though. I really don't know that much about it's history. The friend I got it from had it at least since the mid 80's. It had been sitting. I bought it in 1995. He told the Caprice was raced. It had ladder bars on it at one point and there's still remnants of the welds where they were attached to the rear axle tubes and frame points. Unfortunately one weld goes right over the date code, but I can still see the DN stamp for the gear ratio. The car was in Rochester when I bought it, but from what I was told it may have come from out of state. It was thought it came from Virginia or maybe Texas. Without some sort of paper trail, who knows. It was built in Norwood. Hey, if something pops up in the ads you dig into, that would be cool. Maybe a lead would come from it. Thanks!

He worked on the cars they sent him, only went up to Buffalo every month or so

We can dig deeper later Mark including searching the phone #’s but here’s a couple Ads for you.
2’nd one looks most possible being Rochester also 4-Spd. noted, earlier Ad is Long Island?
