An acquaintance in our local PCA club emailed some pics of a supposed factory 6 a family is trying to sell after the death of the long term owner. I'm no expert, but if a 6 (and the VIN looks right) it looks like it has a 75/76 front clip on it. I'm supposed to get a write up from the son explaining the history. The goal at this point is to educate the family more about what they have and potential value. The front of the car is a bit of a mess.
Any advice on what to look for in terms of verifying what this thing is? I've suggested they look for the VIN stamping in the rear trunk floor, the plaque in the front trunk looks to be gone or painted over. I've not seen any engine pics yet. |

Apparently the owner passed and his family is trying to figure out how to sell the car, trailer and various parts. |
