Default numbers matching car :)

the other thread we have going about 82 CHP cars got me interested in doing a little research on # 0594.

Today I confirmed, through stamped VIN's, that the car still has the original engine and transmission. The rear end is out of an 84 with the quad shock brackets. I do have an extra 7.5" 3L.08 rear end without the quad shock brackets that I will be installing in it when it is restored.

Most of the exhaust is either original, or when it was replaced they used Ford parts. It doesn't look like the engine or trans has ever been out of the car. Here is a shot of the last six of the vin on the tab behind the intake.
