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!

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 ?  confused
