If the first three numbers are 471 it is a four. I think all four's had the key ignition on steering column. The sixes were on the dash. |

Does the vin start with 914? If not, it is probably a conversion car. More info and pics will help tell for sure.

Since your car is a 71, the vin would start w/ 471 for a 4cyl. If it's a six the vin starts w/ 914.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) No doubt! I'd bet selling that steering column alone would cover the costs. That's a hell of a deal! Oh, and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif) |

Also check the VIN tag on the driver's side door jamb
$200.? The components are worth a lot more than that, even if the car is beyond repair. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif) Also, check the VIN database and update as needed ... click here |
