The radius at the top of those rear stripes does not look right. No black on the rockers either. Repaint?

Could be. I won't know more until it gets cleaned up. It is definitely old lacquer and I see no tape lines though.

Here are a few more pics from last night. I will probably not be able to do anything more with the car until tomorrow. We are going to get the car on the rack and drop the gas tank and get it drained and cleaned out along with the other fluids to start getting the car ready to run. We decided to get the car running because the way it sits now it would have to be sold as a project car and that would have a negative impact on the value as opposed to a running and driving car. Getting it running will be easy and cost very little. If you followed the thread on my 69 T/A you will see this car is going to be a piece of cake comparatively. I will go through the car and photograph and document all numbers to get it ready for sale. I will post more pics as I take them.

Thanks for following along.

Here is a tag I found under the passenger seat.

BT Rearend is special, 3.55 gears instead of the standard 3.73.

Engine VIN might be misstamp or mixing the engines between the next car on the line, probably misstamp.

Very nice car.Is this car consider a born with motor car ?

I would have thought that if the engine was mis-stamped, that the POP would have shown the incorrect mis-stamp not what should have been correctly stamped on the engine? They pulled the actual numbers off of the car for the POP, didn't they? Ed

I think that's the original motor.
But I don't think that seat tag goes with this car. This car has standard belts from what I see. ZK3 is deluxe belts.

Congrats! Man, I gotta start looking in more garages. Have fun with your great find!

My friend Rick got the engine prepped to run yesterday. It fired right up and runs great. We may have it on the road tomorrow, I will post some pics.

Funny how the VIN misstamp of "33" matches the license plates.
