Shawn, have you looked in all the normal places for the build sheet?

Yes. This car was completely stripped before paint. Hello from another Okie by the way!

Shawn, unless you're wanting to do a high dollar restoration, I'm with Hank, just enjoy the car.

I have had luck in the past tracking cars back to the original owner in the hope that they might have an original invoice or other documentation to prove the cars provenance. A lot of my success (or lack of success!) is dependent on which state(s) the car has spent its life in. If the car spent all of it's life in Oklahoma, it's a slam-dunk, go to the Oklahoma Tax Commission website, download and fill out form 769, send in your check for $7.50 and you will get copies of all titles since the car was first titled in Oklahoma....then the work starts in tracking down the owners....it's not real likely that the original purchaser still lives at the same place he/she did over 40 years ago.

If you want to go that route and need any help, PM me. If I see a Forest Green SS with white stripes going down the highway I will flag you down!
