Welcome to the board from the capital of the Midwest "Windy City". Lots of helpful folks and information here.
Hi everybody! It feels great beeing here, I just checked the number and is LB5ETB988xx, that means it was a GT!!!
oh, so that's not the original one that came in the car, anyways that's from a GT with a V8 engine. A 4cyl Tach goes up to 8k rpm http://www.maverick73.com.br/plaqueta.php On this site you'll find what all the other numbers means, like that plate you should have on the driver's door will tell you what engine transmission and Diff came in it and also the interior color, that is if the door was never replaced.
Accident I had an accident going to Piriapolis from Montevideo. A citroen visa made a left turn as I was passing him and the car before him..... A jumped the length of the car over a hole full of rocks and landed safely on the grass. I was unharmed, but the front of the car bended and the fan pierced the radiator. Some ppl came to help with 2x4 pickup and we manage to pull it out with no too much problem... The car was then pulled 16Km to the city of Piriapolis, rolling on his own 4 wheels! I'm beginning a full restoration to the car now! so im going to need a lot of advise on parts because im going for a V8
