The day after mine and 671 cars ! But take note, my engine wasn't built until Feb 28th, so it was a "scheduled" build date.. not actual.

Did you mean the dealer? Or the assy plant? Built at lynch road, dealer info is not available.

Dealer...I’m thinking it’s been a west coast Canada car it’s whole life.

Does this reveal a build date? Have a title somewhere (and the window sticker, the 4 speed was a $187 option)

Sorry I’m half drunk and thought I had something smart to say but I decided I didn’t.

That's TWICE now that dadsbee and 413 beat me to respond. They must type a lot faster than me!

They appear to be able to spend more time with their computer

what date range of blocks would appear as original to this car? The original engine has two spun main bearings, broken pistons, and a slew of bent push rods. It ran when parked, but went knockity-knockity.
