273 advise needed

I saw one on there this morning that looked like it had been in a fire and they wanted $250. lol. I have a guy that can rebuild one if I can find a decent one somewhere.

Can you see a VIN on the firewall on any of your 65's? I would like to find another location before my 551 inspection at the highway patrol. Part of the process to get a bonded title on this car.
I think all of mine are 4 gear but as you know I have so much crap I might have one in one of the piles. Ill try and catch up this weekend and move it to your pile if I find one. LOL
