Nice car! Glad to see another A-body being kept alive.

Does it have the original drivetrain?
 
No reproduction, all original.

I am honest and no it's not the matching drivetrain. The engine I have for is a 72 steel crank 340 and the transmission is a correct date coded 1971 4-speed manual. Maybe one day I will change the engine to a correct 1971 340.
 
Real nice!!!. Good luck with her. Looks like you have the build sheet, the carpet code should be there, if I had to bet I would say blue color.
