Thank you, guys.

The radiator support number matches the fender tag. The doors seem correct. As for the data tag, there are several codes on there, so I thought it would be interesting to see how it decodes. As best I can tell, it decodes like this:

CAR: Unknown Make and Model.
ENGINE: 383cid 4-bbl HP V8
TRANSMISSION: 3-Speed Automatic
TIRES: Unknown tire code
BUILD DATE: May 21.
AXLE: 3.23 Rear Axle Ratio
INTERIOR: Sport Trim Grade, Vinyl Bucket Seats. Black Interior.
PAINT: Special Order Paint.
OTHER: Black Upper Door Frame Color. Stripe Deleted.
MOLDINGS:
25: Drip Rail Mouldings
30: Body Belt Mouldings
78: Wheel Lip Mouldings
ABC OPTIONS:
D9: Front Disk Brakes
abc OPTIONS:
a6: Console
b4: Bucket Seats
y9: Special Order

Finally, marfen mentions that I bought a historical race car, not a street car. True enough, but it would be nice to have a document that states I own this car. It has considerable value, and even though I never intend to sell it, I imagine it would be easier for my heirs someday to deal with, when settling my estate. Hopefully a long, long time from now. Others here have stated that they have titles to theirs, so...

Thanks for the recommendation on the book, marfen. I will try to purchase one right away!
