How to verify if an A-body is numbers matching?

That is all great information. I am printing stuff so that I can remember it all, or try to get to it.

I certainly feel well-armed to go into this purchase with a fresh set of objective eyes. I think that one of the harder things to do is to remove the emotion from a potential purchase.

Going over the car from tip to tail in an afternoon should give me a really good idea for the condition of the car, its history, how it was cared for, and perhaps I will have a new fish in my garage soon! Supposedly there is a stash of extra parts, wheels and tires, and documentation that all come with the car.

Wish me luck and as always, I will keep you posted!
