    Do not worry, the vehicle VIN does not appear on the data plate!
    44439= 4 door hardtop, V-8
    FL= Flint assembly plant
    13987= body number. only used in the assembly plant.
    163= Dove bench seats
    t-c paint= saddle mist (gold) with a white painted top

    Does that help?
     
  6. a little!! with the gold paint the car is red and it says red on title dose that happen often and do you know what v8 that model came with t/y for the help.....

    That car has a 225 v6 or did. I would not consider it a muscle car.


    C-t-c I beleive was an artic white car with the saddle mist color used as an accent stipe etc

    If the car is a V8 should have either a 300 2bbl ( wildcat 310 ) or a 340 either 2 or 4bbl with a ST300 2 speed trans ( NOT a POWERGLIDE!!!! ). As far as being a muscle car it NEVER was and NEVER will be a Muscle car. It is a nice car yes Muscle NEVER. The term Muscle car refers to mid size 2 dr cars with BIG block ( in this case a 401 ) engines. a lot of people like to think that just because its from the 60's and has a V8 makes it a muscle car ... sadly thats not true. If you buy the car do not expect to make big money on it as time goes on as it may be a very nice car but will never be worth the large money reserved for true Big Block Muscle cars. I am not saying it will be worth nothing but not the large amounts you read about.

    Just my .02 worth

  9. well im not really one of those ppl: who think that i kind of figgured that it would be a nice sadan model since i couldnt find much on the internet about it but seeing how ppl switch collecting one type of car to another you cant really tell these days i am supposed to buy this modle for 2000 w/needing a motor rebuild so i was basically wondering if it would be right for body/chassis restore w/motor upgrade or just a full o.e. restore besides that its just sitting seams to be a waste to me so i waen ahead & put some money on it for the guy to hold it for a couple weeks then purchase t/y again everyone for the help
