I found all the numbers, letters and scripts wrapped in paper in the battery compartment and was happy about that. So it looks like i have a good foundation. I've decided to put a 496 and make it my own, except my wife wants it for herself so its her car now. Thanks again for your comments and suggestions.

That's quite a transformation! I thought the paint was peeling off all over the car.

Yea cleaned up well, it was covered when I first saw it in 1991... 28 years of sitting in a warehouse preserved it pretty well...Had to clean the dust off the windshield with a broom to get it up on the trailer...
