The vin is GHN5UB220946C, and it's rusted in half!

The VIN Decoder located in the Library Section puts this particular VIN as a 1971.

When it was whole it was a 1971. Any pictures before final burial?

Any chance the hood is descent? That is, if a '71 hood works for a '63B.

1/2 of a 1971 is only a 985.5, truly an antique!

The 985.5 ,I think the only diff erence between that and the 985 was they converted to rubber mid year. Yeah they got rid of the stone wheels im sure.

You'll get a steel hood rather than an aluminum one but if you're not set on originality, that won't be a problem. It'll fit. Add a set of Rick Ingram's gas hood struts and you're set.
