I think that you meant "where".
The cowl section appears to be left in tact. Why is replacing the firewall a problem? Just asking, Ed

It would appear that the hidden vin near the heater core was cut out and possibly replaced.

yes, I need to learn how to spell. dad is watching the kids and not paying attention to his spelling...while goofing off looking a car stuff.
there is a hidden vin down below in the lower part of the firewall. there is also a new upper cowl section sitting on the floor, likely looking for a home. 3rd row, 3rd picture in. The last 2 pictures in the 3rd show more black in the upper section of the cowl. I would suspect not much of the original cowl is there anymore.

and for 'part 2' of something you dont see everyday, check out the bare block shots. broaching looks fresh? only part of block surface? this cant be the original engine....

The number is further towards the fender than where they had cut.

Bob,
I could not find this car for sale on Legendary's website. Where did you find it? Ed

This is on their restoration tab on their website. I was not hunting for this, I just was enjoying the restoration pics. I thought that the car was destroyed in this restoration process, but I guess not if they kept the original vin stampings in place (if folks with more experience than I can judge). Makes me glad I am into survivor cars now.

Hard to beat a survivor when you see cars like this. Newer cars today would have a salvage title if treated like this.
