...more...the Honeycombs (all 5) are all dated 8-21-70 JX, so the originals I'm thinking. The doors are really clean (yah!!!) and the rear axle is the original 3.31 saf-t-track 12-bolt. The A/C suitcase doesn't show any indication of a vent for the hood tach, but don't know if it was ever replaced over the years. It doesn't have any dimples either for locating it and is teh black/blue grey color, not brownish black.

Hood pins and dual horn bolts....

[SD455DJ]

oops, pictures...OPH was wondering what bots and finish they were on my car, so here the are and I'm not sure if they are even the original ones.

...the door undersides look nice and solid...

Darn, I only have one horn!

[SD455DJ]

Oh, oh Mike....around our house a single horn is the 'weenie' horn. My '74 GTO has a weenie horn, I'm so embarassed to drive and need to use it....the shame (lol).

Luckily I don't use it...the reving of the engine more than makes up for the weenie horn...

My silver (not black like yours) grill doesn't have the PONTIAC either. Just 455?

So far no build sheets hidden anywhere, above the gas tank, in the seat springs, under that carpets (not original fwiw), above the glove box or anywhere behind the dash. Here are shots of the original glove box door tire size and inflation decal (toast) and maintanence decal (also toast) and the power trunk lid release button. The wiring for the rear seat speaker and trunk release are still present and uncut thankfully. The rear bumper has the two indents for the bumper guards, which were a fairly uncommon option in '71, at least on GTO's and GT-37's (& T-37's).

The paint on all jams is factory original. I only did a scuff and squirt on the outside of the body all those years ago.

Of the nine wheels you have with that car, only one was there when I bought it in '88. This one was in the trunk as a spare and is easy to spot as the best looking one of the lot, with original paint making it fairly obvious.

IIRC, I replaced the inner suitcase becasue the original had a sizable hole in it when I bought it. It's probably off a GP, which used to be such an easy, seemingly endless source of parts back in the late 80's.

Mike, That helps to know and it did look like the inner suitcase was removed to us, so we wondered if it was original.
