Interesting, thank you. I would agree it looks like a 9, too. I'm still chatting with RogerDetroit about a possible trip to visit the car. At the very least, I would happily take photographs of specific parts if anyone would like to list suggestions.
I may have mentioned earlier that my only goal in terms of keeping something from the car for myself is to see if the engine/transmission can be salvaged. If there is some forensics value in the car, does anyone have suggestions on how to approach that job with minimal damage to the rest of the vehicle? Most of the frame is packed in sand or has rusted away completely. But what is above-ground is surprisingly strong. My current theory is to lift the front coachwork and firewall up and off.
