Cool car. Couple things.
1. Why blank out the last of the vin on the pop but yet show the pad, trans, & vin tag? 2. Interesting to see the pop trans stamp to be way off what’s in the car.

Yes I saw that.. I did this during the 46 days while I waited for the Title. Thinking I wasn't going to post the VIN in the beginning. I posted the wrong one. I have the exact same picture layout with the full VIN. I didn't notice I posted the wrong picture until it was too late.....
Trans... Yes it seems like it was punched up and printed and then they put a much earlier set-up in the car. Could it be that they checked stock and thought that set-up was available, but then when it came time to install it, it was used? So they grabbed one of the last ones on the rack, hit it with the VIN and through it in? Remember this is a pretty late build. There is only 3 or 4 days in the FIFTH week of July '68. Things were getting cleared out. Thank goodness it has the VIN or I wouldn't believe it myself.

I don't have an explanation on the trans info.... other than mistakes were made.
Great car and great story. Looking forward to progress reports. BTW, I read you father's obit. Sounds like a great guy who always put others first. Some similarities to my own father. Dad never finished HS, not because he was a slacker, but because he was the oldest child of a wife beating drunkard. Dad quit school to go to work and put food on the table for the family. This country was built on the blood sweat and tears of guys like our dads. What a HUGE debt we owe them.
