Let's see if I can help with some of it: Body Style: 7541 = Strato Chief 2 door seden 6 passenger 6 cylinder Weight - 3400 lbs Base Price: $2790 Your Vin looks too long. It should look something like this: 8754100001 so I would suspect your VIN should be 8754100479 with your car being the 478th off the line. Hope this helps. Cool car to restore. I'd put a 348 and a tri power in her!

Welcome, neat car, and I would second the 348 idea!

I like the 348 idea too but where exactly do you find one?

thanks guy's that helps me alot. regarding the 348 that would be a great idea my brother had one in his 58 chev about twenty years ago[kicking his ass now that he sold it]. it has a fresh 327 from a 1968 camaro . it'll do for now.

No shame in a 327.

If no one else has asked, how about more pics???!!!

here are some  more photo's i just started to restore her

here are some more i plan on painting it silver with a black strip inbetween the side moulding

Good move, a lot less expensive (hee hee) to build a sbc than a 348. I'll ask again, where do you find these old W blocks ?
