Owen>>>If you get a chance, I'd like to have your vehicle #, and the large embossed number on the firewall. Thanks.

The numbers are {drum roll + cymbal crash}

VIN = X68592
Embossed Number = 268I40

thanks for all the replies - totally logical.

I'm feeling rather spunky tonight....after removing the front fenders and grill, and the head and squirting some magic fluid in the cylinders, I put a wrench on the crank nut and the engine turned with (what appears to be) good compression. I bought it on the premise that the engine might be frozen. The PO (previous owner) had it in his garage for 13 years and (alas) had too many car projects to contend with). He got it from an estate in Saginaw, Michigan. The interior is toast, but 98% complete and now a useable engine. Does it get any better than this?
