Car has the vin of a 6 but what things should I be looking for to make sure it actually is. (Trying to make sure it's not a VIN swap)

I am inclined to believe that it is a -6 because of the dash, oil tank and engine but until you see he VIN you won't know. That being said I do not see a panel that could be use without repair. You might get lucky and save the engine but the carbs are probably trashed.

As a rule I only buy projects that can be parted out for more than the purchase price, this car will not!
