Its a dealer sticker on the fin, I got it from Misle Chevrolet in Lincoln Ne, that sticker wont survive the build... if its even still on it.
Funny thing about mine, I didnt know it was a 10th until about ten years after I bought it. It had the silver leather interior and WS6 under it, but the tail lights are wrong and everything about the paint and graphics are too. I got an issue of HPP with the numbers crunching for 79s and I decided to check it. Sure enough the vin had the X, it was a nice surprise.
Where I grew up people would part cars and swap interior parts into better or unwrecked bodies. I figured someone had swapped it all in there and painted the gauge cluster bucket red because they liked it that way.
I really want to rebuild it and fix all the screw ups previous owners (and me in my youth) did to it. Maybe instead I will just get it drivable this summer so I have an extra set of wheels when I go to Nebraska. I miss driving it and have a ton of good memories in it. You guys would hate to see how it looks right now though, and I wont be taking any pics of it in its current state. Its been sitting since 88 when I enlisted in the USAF, but its been on jack stands so the mice couldnt reach it.
Is it just me or do the cars you had as a teenager have better feelings with them?
