Need help in verifying a '70 roadster
(1) Can anyone provide a list of options ? (I don't have my black book handy).
(2) Does the VIN identify the engine? This car supposedly had a big block which was replaced by a small block :confused: engine from a corvette of unknown year or type. Are there any clues that would verify that a big block was once there?
(3) Thanks.

1) see http://www.idavette.net/facts/70.htm
2) nope, can't tell by the VIN. You need to look for the usual signs that the car was a big block originally: heavy duty side yokes, rear sway bar, tach redline, etc.
3) you're welcome :D
