Yes, the car has the original engine with proper stampings. Also has the original carb, intake manifolds, radiator and transmission. The non-original items are:
1. Alternator. If anyone has one, I'd love to purchase it (6 Amp 1100884 from Sept 69 - March 70)
2. Starter - no visible stampings
3. AIRS (smog device removed). Again, would be happy to purchase one if anyone has
Here are pics I took of the bay:

Great looking car, love the colour.
Is there an optical illusion with the battery gauge needle, or do you need to go in there and fix that?
The alternator is going to be a tough one to find - it was only used in 1970, and 1970 was a short year as you no doubt are aware. There are some around if you want them badly enough, though.
Hard to beat a 70.

The rubber fuel line is a serious fire hazard. I wouldn't drive it as-is.

Wow! OK, I'll fix that. Where can I locate the proper metal fuel line. It's at the mechanics right now so I'll have them repair it.

I would hold out and hope to find one for $1,500.00 if you are very lucky without the correct date code taken into consideration. Don just got very lucky and found one in his local area but I do not know for what price or if he traded a 900 for it. As someone stated they are out there but are very expensive.
