Just for laughs,have a look inside your right side frame rail.After knocking out the end cap to vacuum out mouse nests I found big chunks of the build sheet,unfortunately they were in the same shape as the tank sheet,you may find something in yours in better condition.

I Can Read 4 Items.....

In The Upper Left Hand Corner About Three Inches To The Right Of A Rusted Staple - I Have "cwm" - Which Make Sense - I Have That On My Motor (454, Manual Transmission)'

Then About 1/2 Inch To The Right And Down On The Next Level Of Boxes I Have "mg" "mg" "ea".....

And Thats It...the Whole Sheet Is Here...but Is So Fagile And Worn There Are Absolutely No Numbers On It Anywhere....

Anything Meaningful?

Thanks

Bravo!

Well...according To Rms73's Database...your Car Was Built The First Date Of 74 Production....and Nobody Seems To Have Any Information On Any Vin's That Are Earlier Than Yours...

At This Point...you Own The Earliest Known 74....

Heck...they Were Still Building 73's Until August 3rd!

As a little help, this is what i know the car did have originally:

'75 coupe
L-82
4-speed close ratio
3.55:1 rear gears
map light
tilt/tele
rear window defogger
Power Steering
no A/C
no power windows
no power locks
