This car has no seat belts.They weren't mandatory in Canada until 1966. I believe they were mandatory in US in 1964.The engine pad is stamped with a number from assembly plant.This number is shown on the pop book & GM document.It is not the vin # like US cars. I have a pic of engine pad but cant download any more pics, No it is not restamped or fake- has original broach marks, I don't think that the US built 283 cars even had the engine pad stamped- just the HP 327s & 396 Z16 cars.The car has a Turbo 400 3 speed auto with shift kit. The very nice original console & shifter with shiftworks shifter conversion were used so the car looks stock.The car has big block coil springs with HD shocks that gives the car a nice stance.This car can be driven cross country if needed- fly in & drive it home. Car is one of 369 built in Canada
