Thanks. First place I looked. Mice had breakfast,lunch and dinner in the back seat for quite awhile. The bottom of the seat frame looked like a multiple family apartment complex. Went through it carefully. Nothing.

Bucket seat car, check behind the hard plastic rear cover on each seat. It's a long shot maybe you will get lucky...

Wilma,
Here's the trim tag. And brake valve.

Jason,
Yes, bucket seats are installed. But, it was born a bench seat car. You are correct about paper work found behind the plastic back on drivers side seat. I found a partial build sheet for my Yenko Chevelle there.

That's a standard black bench interior, I think Legendary is now making the correct seat covers. Make sure you check the upper section of the rear seat for the broadcast sheet - it won't tell you the engine code though, that was only through '69.

So the car was an October build...that brake valve is correct for that period...there were a number of changes mid year (approx jan/70)..your car would have the mechanical throttle arm...instead of cable. It appears there is little doubt this was a real BB car from the factory...that's the great thing about intact survivor type cars...hard to fake that kind of patina.

Wilma,
You are correct. This 10B car has the solid throttle arm. My 02B L48 car, has a cable. What knowledge do you have of this door panel? Is this standard 70 with the white horizontal? The L48 has wood grain.

[WILMASBOYL78]

The standard vinyl interior would have a vertical white stripe on the door panel...the deluxe interior has the &quot;faux&quot; wood grain horizontal stripe. The standard interior would not have rear armrests and would have come with a rubber floor mat...no carpet. The attached photo shows the correct #731 interior, rubber mat and std. door panels.

Wilma,

What do you think of this?

[LIBoomer]

Wilma,
Looked at the interior again. The rear panels match the above style. There are arm rests in the back. I found remnants of carpet pile under the sill plates. Mid year change or different year?

[LIBoomer]

Ok. Just looked at a Nova catalog. That is the Deluxe Interior style. I suppose the interior could have been swapped which may explain the addition of buckets. Must have been done early in its life.

That roll bars been in there for a while.
