If only it was the 390 lol I have never heard much good about the 360

yeah the vin number will decode it, you can even see if it was a special order by a customer from the vin plate

nice pickup! I don't want to nitpick, but I don't think thats a '75. Wrong grille and headlights (late 78-79), looks like fuel tank fill is behind a door on box ('77 and up). Minor, though; have fun with it!

yep, mine was built in Ontario, sold in Denver to 1st owner, he moved to Texas 10 years ago and sold it to his brother a month before I bought it. Was cool to see the history line up with the story
