Very [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/cool.gif[/img] car, Dana. Looks like the hood and hinges were replaced with used blue ones.....any story on that?

Very cool find! Great colors and nicely optioned.

Or someone just painted the hood hinges blue?

They are blue. Who knows, I missed that fad...

Very cool score Dana. That 5 stamped in the cowl tag is usually a factory line inspectors stamp, so inspector #5 at the Fremont plant checked that car out after final assembly.

Block vin is legit, Fremont stamped those higher than other plants.

Great patina, keep and enjoy as is I'd say.

I actually got it running pretty well. After the prep it fired instantly and didn't even throw a puff of smoke. Drove it around the parking lot. That is about as far as I could take it with life right now so my friend talked me out of the car. His wife's first car was a 69 GTO so it was really her who wanted it. It is only a few minutes from me. They have scrubbed it up and it looks good. I will get pics or video for you.
