Did you look on top of the fuel tank yet? I found the "remains" of a build sheet for my 1970 442 between the fuel tank and the underside of the trunk. I'm drawing a blank on the engine, the intake and "F" heads could have been added.... if someone could find them! But I'm not sure if the engine had anything stamped in the block to show W30. Did you check the numbers on carb. and distributor yet? I believe the correct carb would be 7040258 and distributor 1111979 You said it's an automatic transmission, there should be a vin number stamped on the drivers side facing the floorboard just in front of the electrical plug . It should also have a metal tag that would show it to be a W30. The metal tag is mounted on the passenger side. It should have an OW printed with ink, and also stamped in smaller letters into the tag. Can you post any photos for us to drool over? Congrats on the purchase, and I hope it is a real W30, although even if it isn't it does sound like a really cool car!!! John
