72 demon 340... again

She Devil said
Hi everyone! :wave:

I have been looking around this forum for a little while now and, after seeing this thread, I guess it's time to introduce myself. I am the one who bought this Demon . I bought it to use as a daily driver and will hopefully be able to do that soon. In the mean time, I am doing some much needed maintenance on the front suspension so I can get her on the road safely.
I was wondering, what is all this you guys have been talking about with the VIN codes etc.? I didn't buy this car to try to "Barrett Jackson" it or anything, but I am still curious as to what is what with its pedegree.
Thanks for all your help!

you would do better starting a new thread in the "welcome wagon" section introduceing yourself there. then you could give us the updates on the car. as far as it's pedegree goes. it is like this, the vin on the dash plate will have an "h" in the 5 slot. this will indicate it is or at least was a 340 car. from there it will have the last 5 didgets of that same vin plate number stamped on the engine block. it will be on the passenger side near the front on a flat spot near the oil pan. this will prove the engine is the original one to the car. the fender tag will be , should be , in the engine bay on the drivers side near the battery. it will list most of the major options the car has or had but will have the cars vin number stamped into it once again. this will further prove the car "is what it is". the last piece of the puzzle will be the actual build sheet. it can be found inside the car in the seat springs of the back seat most of the time. it can be other places in the car as well. this is the actual piece of paper that tells the hole cars build history. it will also have the vin number on it as well. so with these pieces of the puzzle you can show your cars history and "pedegree" to prove it "is what it is" so to speak. without these pieces it is still a good car but will not be worth as much.....did you follow that? welcome aboard by the way!
