On the flip side, if you hold onto the car long enough this time and need to rebuild the engine and transmission yourself, that’ll for the most part mitigate its lack of records beforehand.

Bottom line, I wouldn’t worry about it. Just enjoy the car.
Do you have a clue how many of these old shops weren’t on computers until the last few years? Anything over the legally required 7 y ars for IRS is a shot in the dark. Definitely not worth the time spent on the chase for an SC.
