Thanks guys! Not going to wash it. Here is what I know so far after talking to original owner. Car is original / unrestored by the way. Only passenger front fender as he had a fender bender early on. Original owner street raced the car. Said he made more money doing that than at a track. He added cragars and a carburetor, otherwise untouched original condition. Original owner was in Vietnam war and decided to have his good friend, who was just discharged from the service, order this car for him so it would be finished when he left the service. He ordered the car from Baldwin Chevrolet, with the hood and some upgrades from Motion. It is an original #'s match L78 / M22 / 4:56 rear gear car in Olympic gold. I compare it to Joe C's BM Chevelle as he ordered it. By the way, he put 250 emblems in place of the 396 on front fenders. Needs a total restoration.
