So close...just needed to be the W72 400 instead of the 180 hp L78 400 '557' block. Thanks much for posting that!

This one is out there in the wilds of Alberta, but the last owner has no record of the name of the person he sold it to in 2021 nor did he record the VIN.

No options to speak of other than W72.

Here is one that just showed up on FB Marketplace in WI. It looks and reads like it is a W72 4-speed, non AC, no T-top, but he doesn't show any docs. Might be worth checking out.
