well you could match up the date of the hood with car. Not perfect science, but it would be highly coincidental to have just the right date on it. I saw the tape over the wiring hole, (interesting), is the rest of the parts there on the firewall?
Also were you lucky enough to get the original 302 with it? any other paperwork pop?
unfortunately this is the only number on the hood (6) car is 04C
and its right were CRG said it would be, drivers side rear. I was also curious on the tape, do you or anyone know of other hoods with the hole covered?
I haven't look for the parts on the firewall, do you have a picture of what I should be looking for? I haven't gotten that far along on the restoration.
and on the original 302, no it's long gone, it spun a rod bearing at 3k miles while doing 70mph going down the road, it went back to the dealer for warranty, and they said they wouldn't replace to motor due to custom work done (headers, among a few other things) so they rebuilt it, according to the owner it never ran the same. At 6k miles the motor blew up and he bought the 327 from a pro stock racer buddy of his and gave the original motor to his buddy for storage while 327 was being freshened up. The motor (short block) sat there for 25-30 years before the business was sold and the building demolished about 7 years ago.
the third owner pulled the 327/4 speed and replaced it with 427/400, the owner I got the car from bought it as a roller, with NOS fenders and 1/4s but had horrible work done. Motor is missing nuts between engine mounts and frame mounts, one bolt is about half way out. The rear suspension hardware was finger tight, he replaced the BV 12 bolt with a 308 peg leg 10 bolt, but gave me the 12 bolt
I'm slowly fixing everything from back to front, but seems like except for underhood everything remained untouched.
