Christopher: can you please update the entry for this car with the additional numbers off of the data plate (engine, gearbox, and body numbers)? Thanks

Sorry, nevermind... got it now.

Not sure why but the second update returned car location to Youngstown Ohio. This resets it back to Santa Clara. Hope that is correct.

Does car have a 5 speed conversion done or not?

She is a 4 speed. No 5 speed conversion. Gear box seems to be fairly solid. I assumed original. (Although reverse is an embarrassing chore to click in sometimes.)
