Absolutely YES. And they are quite rare and becoming collectible.
Where is it and what are they asking? Or would that be giving the secret away :-)

If it's a 1973 the BODY plate will say L30 under ENG and M41 under TRANS. The VIN plate will also read U in the 5th digit (after 8S69) If it's a '72 or '71 send me the VIN number and i'll find out for you if it was a 350 or not. |
