Searching for original 440 engine, fender tag and Dana 60 RS23U0A202624

[GTX 70]

Hi, anyone have any info about my project? I purchased the car in 2019 from Iowa, it has bounced around a few states in its life, but I have little to go on. The car is reported to be a trac pack car with a 440 4 speed and a Dana. The Dana is gone, no indication of when. it now has an 8 3/4 in it. The 4-speed transmission looks restored, nice proper color paint, the air grabber hood was damaged on the front edge, I'm sure the grille will have been destroyed but the rad support and front bumper are fine. The engine is not with the car, but it might have sent out for repair since the trans seems to be ready for reinstallation. There are a few replacement parts for the front-end damage. The car is almost completely disassembled, the front fenders are reinstalled with one bolt holding them on. The left quarter panel is removed at the top edge and the car has a replacement panel with it. The right quarter has a patch panel on the lower one third of it. The doors are attached but seem to have been hastily reattached for sale. The interior panels are completely missing, I do have the seats, but the front buckets are not stock material since the center backrest panels are in red to match the cars tor red exterior. The trunk floor has been removed, and replacement panels are included. The car has one repaint in it's life. I hope this detailed description will help to jog someone's memory. Thanks for any help. Abe

The car was located in Comanche, but the fellow I bought it from was flipping it. He bought it without the hood but as able to track down the original hood from a previous owner other than the one he bought the car from. The color is tor red and was repainted the same color. The car has the black hood and rear deck lid stripes. It looks like the car never had the wheel opening chrome or it was removed and not reinstalled during the repaint. I t does have the rocker panel chrome. I will have to contact the fellow I bought the car from and get more info from him, if he has any. I sure appreciate your willingness to help. Abe
