Well the frame is almost bare, only the front suspention left. The center section I took out had stampings that seemed strange. OA 01 9 W 7 E1. The W and the E1 I haven't seen on other rears. Casting date of A 19 7. Anyone have explanation?

How 'bout a clue to what year car - it's not in your post or in your profile. What's the casting number (pass. side) and casting date (driver's side, above the strut bracket)?
