Sorry it took so long to get back to this. The owner of the car has decided to do some of the needed work to get the car running himself and then I will help him as needed. He is pretty motivated to get it running before the real Ohio weather hits, which will be in the next 3 weeks or so typically. So he did pull the gas tank today. It is shot but the filler neck is salvageable. He is removing the rust now and I will silver solder it into the new tank He sent me a couple pics I can share. More pics will be coming in the near future. Happy to share. I haven't worked on an SD since my days at the Pontiac dealer so it is a real privilege to work on this.

He is fortunate to have a GM replacement NOS sending unit and sock. Checked it yesterday with an OHM meter. It is right on spec. There was no build sheet on the fuel tank and it looks like it had never been removed. The exhaust system is original as well, I think. The muffler has a couple rust holes in it. Nothing serious. He is having a complete Gardner exhaust system made for it. They are 4-5 months out on delivery. So we will run it with the current exhaust. He has the original window sticker. I will have to ask him if I can post it. I am working for him so need to honor his requests. It's a nice, unmolested car. Even has EGR and TCS systems still on the engine.

Looks like a really nice survivor!
That last picture is testament to why all my cars are stored with a full tank of fuel and a can of Sea Foam added.
