Larry, thanks for the info and comparison! I will definitely keep you posted, and I will absolutely share photos of the interior once we get in it. Not going to lie this old girl has not been kept in the best shape. We haven't had a lot of time to look into her on account of the dwindling light in the evenings now, but we expect starting tomorrow we will start getting to know her a bit better. The wooden framing on 3 sides has significant rot/insect damage, but all the metal is solid. This will be an entire tear down and re-mod pending getting everything squared away with the title. Once we start looking at her bones a bit more tomorrow I will share additional photos. :)
On the plus side, we found receipts where she was transported about an hour away from us to a dealer and had maintenance back in 2007. Her last inspection sticker is from 2012. Someone was taking good care of her up until 2012-2013. The VIN number has been recovered under all the enamel paint on the frame but is not turning up any results. DMV said this may be because registration has not been kept up for over the past 2 years, but unless the laws have changed for registrations this shouldn't be the case. More digging to be done on this front.
In the meantime we'll be gutting this weekend and seeing what we have to work with so we know if it's worth the trouble or not.
