    The first number of the VIN tells what year it is. 0 = 70, 1 = 71 and so on.

    is the other car a small or big bumper. the 70 also has a tray under the dash. does the other have a glove box. what rearend is under the 70. 4 lug or 5 lug. go with which ever is going to make you happier with the finished product.:)

    Hard decision.

    I'd continue work on the Grabber, personally. Then when I was done, I'd be looking at the other as another car to restore or a parts car to make some money on.

    Whatever you decide, you'll be happy.

    pick the better condition of the 2 and use that for the platform....if there is a big difference in the condition of the 2 cars....it will save bunches of $$$. That is unless you are emotionally tied to one or the other.
