Did someone look at the axle tube for the rear diff code yet Fred ??

Fred,
Is the trans tunnel original to the car and has it had any repairs. The original tunnel may provide some clues as well.

Bob - the axle tube hasn't been examined closely yet. I don't have garage space up here for it (will have it here in spring) and when I get it that's the first thing I'll do is look at it myself and if need be, have it looked at by others as well.

Stefano - as far as i know the trans tunnel is original to the car and can't say if it has had repairs(never asked and have only seen car from pictures). What clues may the trans tunnel provide?...

I know the garage situation all to well Fred....good luck.

At the moment I am contemplating on selling the house I'm in - it has a 1 stall garage and there is a house that just went up for sale today with 8-car heated garage...the answer is obvious if I hadn't bought two houses and moved twice in the past 8 months...I think I'll be moving by myself if I choose to move (helpers are pooped out) - the last time I moved, my soda machine almost fell over and the hit the ground...good thing my dad was in between the machine and the ground, otherwise it might have scratched to the paint - I mean...good thing he's OK........

Fred what is the story on the car?? Is it a COPO?

**Born30YrsLate** · #47 01-07-2005, 05:44 AM

Frank - the jury is still out...I will be video taping and taking pictures of every part of the car for documentation purposes before there is any work done on the car...I'm also waiting for the previous owner to get into touch with me and hopefully be able to contact previous owners/find paper work on the car...I'm playing the patience game right now...what ever the car turns out to be it will stay a big block car and it will be done up in Day 2 style...

Did the jury ever return???

Car is scheduled to show up this weekend...I will be taking pics and sending them to Ed C.
Also, not making much headway currently on talking with previous owners - last owner (in central Ill) doesn't have a phone so I'm trying to get a time to visit, but there's no way to see if he'll be home when I get there...still also waiting on results back from the Illinois title search. Also am trying to get an NICB report.
Nothing too exciting....yet

I hate to disappoint you, but I did a title search in Illinois last year, and was told that they don't have any records over 6 years old. Anyone else had better luck?
