James, wanting add some info to the above.
While it is true that an engine could sit around for a few months I do not believe that to be the case with your car. If everything on the chassis is original to
that chassis then the whole chassis was most likely assembled in May or June. Had the engine sat around for a few months it would of been put into a chassis that was available at that point in time (ebrake handle to front of trans). As I said earlier the left hand brake set up was abandoned by Ford very quickly and they would not of had it sitting around much longer than needed. Especially at a larger assembly plant like Chicago.
Like JB said, focus more on the unique features of the body and less on the chassis.
