C56 Dual Reclining Bucket Seats, Bucket Seats 72 and up

A6XW (Guessing maybe the vinyl top color?)

000 Upper door color

627 Build date

510362

E55 340ci 4bbl 275h.p. V8 (LA) (69-71), 340 6bbl 290h.p. (LA) (T/A, AAR) with A53 Package (70), 360 2bbl C-Body

D34 Torque flight - Standard Duty

This also has factory front and rear sway bars, disc brakes and a vinyl top I’m assuming white. Also the remnants of the tape stripes are still on the inside of the door around the handle, they were white. Which would make this car a 1972 EV2 (Hemi Orange) 340 Auto, with a white interior, white tape stripes and a white vinyl top. Also all of the options listed above. Think it could be a rare one?

Not the rarest car, one of 5,864 by your numbers. It looks like a builder. Is it cheap?

I got the whole car minus Pass side fender for 4000.00. I'm pretty happy with it,it's really not as bad as it looks. Anybody know where I can get a decent pass side fender for it?   Dave

It does look solid. About the fender I just may have one. What part of the world are you at?

I'm in Burlington Vermont, and like I said I can work with almost anything but the solider the better.   Thanks Dave
