looking at pics the rust has perforated the roof and pillars. even if it was hypothetically a 'missing link' it'd be not worth salvaging; once rust has perforated these areas the car is a goner, welding these areas may make it sturcturally unsound.

Just saw the photos and ahhh NO! A Marlbro HDT sticker in the engine bay does not make it a Brock.

Going by the numbers on that tag, it looks like it is a extremely rare VB SL ,that originally came with a factory big block 173.

i have a vb sl that was originally a 253 & 4spd now its a 308 4spd. pretty rare these days but a few crop up every now & then. a 173 is far from a big block by the way...

how do you get that...???
VB SL tag/VIN numbers started with 8L69 and unless my eyes decieve me that defiinitely starts with 8K69...which makes it an 'L'

oh and btw
that car was made at Pagewood :)
