    Usual stuff....

    Carb 7040246
    Dist 1112016

    SS code on the block by the diostick tube
    VIN on the block in between 1 & 3 plugs

    Trans will have vin stamped on case by the "P" number which will tell you the date and weather it's a close or wide ratio.

    Big block trans crossmember
    Big block steering intermediate shaft

    Plus looking for all the usual 70 specific parts that are different from 71/72 such as 70 bb shroud, front wheel moldings, 70 core support and top plate.

    Or you could just fly me there ...

    That first picture is one I took a few years ago during a Sunday night ice cream cruise.

    So, yes that's mine and no it's not for sale. I smell a scamalamadingdong.

    What happened to the old Chris Lance car that landed in Canada?

    I thought it was your car in the outdoor photo and I couldn't imagine that it would be for sale. :)

    i know when i bought the 67 gs 400 conv in march 2019 it was not for sale but i bugged him to sell it. been trying to look at it since but the owner was always to busy to show it. Now he called last night and i will be going this weekend to see it.
    ill post more pictures so you guys can pick it apart.
    that car is coming home with me so its not for sale. gf would go before that car goes if i own it.
