I love buying cars like this. Stock engines do nothing for me, so there's no wasted money.
If it wasn't for ambitious previous owners like this guy that pulled the car apart in 1976, it would be another junker. Pic #11 shows the condition of the drivers window fuzzy.

Is the grille correct, or should it be silver ?

That engine stamp looks really bad to me, but that trans stamp looks good for the early font style Norwood used . FWIW.

I personally think the engine is a restamp (especially the vin) and trans is legit.

The stamps are fine, IMO.
The stories on the other hand.....

This sounds like a jailhouse/campfire urban myth bulls@@t story. This guy just happened to stumble into the wake of a deceased Vietnam soldier? His new z28 sitting outside? This is disturbing and ridiculous. I will never believe it...
