Default Another 71 LeMans Sport Convertible

Here's some pics of my car. I picked this one up back in '05 in the hood (and I mean THE HOOD) of Cincinnati. It has just about everything replaced or rebuilt in the suspension and had an aluminum headed 455, TH-400 and a 10 bolt posi with some nice freeway gears. It drives very well and the motor got swapped into my '69 gto and a mild cruiser motor(400) went in it's place back in the vert. The color is not original and there is some unbelievable body shop sin under the paint that came to light once I started to redo the body. This has been a on and off project that I now have vowed to have it back on the road for the spring of '12. This car will be a driver first and by no means 100% factory. I appreciate those that are yet this one won't and there will be some modifications.
I have found a build sheet above the tank, yet doesn't look anything like the one I found in my 77 Trans Am or the one that came with the packet from PHS for my '69 GTO. Could someone point me to a site that I can decipher it or help me? I can scan/post if someone feels up to it.
Note the column shift and floor shift/console. I wonder which is original? I have since replaced the column with a floor shift model, added an in dash tach. Car is now getting new rear quarters, wheel houses, partial trunk floor and a whole lot more. I will post more as time allows and progress is made. I do all my own work .. Thanx for viewing... Mike
