interesting VIN on this car, I can't tell if the heads look like the roundports from these pics or not, says it's not the original engine but not sure if the current owner really knows:

sorry you missed it Warbird, if it had any parts like the original heads or some of of the other high $ parts that would have been a nice car to pick up.

This TA has been offered on EBay several times now too. Just nothing much is moving yet. And think, only a year & a half ago, this car probably would have been an easy sale at $45K+.

Would the PHS show Performance Axle for the 3.73 gear ?

According to my 1971 Pontiac Accessorizer (dated Jan 4/71) G92 Performance Axle was a chargeable option @ $10.53.
Does it show up on your 70's PHS? As I understand it,ALL non A/C HO's got 3:42's |

Pretty sure mines 3.42 and she has air. Looked at the axle code about twenty years ago. I would have remembered. Can't verify it right now. It's away from home.

ta455ho,
You are correct. 4 spd HO cars were 3.42 even w/ AC, automatics had standard 3.08 |

This is good info fellas. Are rear axles, or rather, were rear axles stamped or otherwise identified with partial VIN's just like the trans tags? Can you verify whether you still have your original rear axle or not? Just wondering.

I don't believe there is a partial VIN on the differential, but on the passengers side tube on the front surface is a three digit code that signifies the ratio. I think there are other identifying features, too.
