When you and your Dad had the car, did it have the original engine? It is clear from the pic that is not the original motor. GM moved the oil dipstick from L to R in 1980. A lot of things missing in that area as well which sometimes be expected for a car that old and a rebuilt/salvage title, but it may also give some clues if it could be the car your Dad had.
The trim tag should be coded 989 for War Bonnet Yellow.
Hope someone is able to help you.

Really appreciate the response.
When we had it, it was the original engine. We pulled it and rebuilt it with new gaskets and hoses after cleaning it. Added an aftermarket exhaust system to it and new headers. Last thing I did was put a custom box and CD player in the "trunk" behind the seats with a remote control. It was an impractical car by all measures but I loved it. The lines were just perfect in my opinion. I washed that thing almost daily as an 18 year old, I thought I was the sh*t.
If memory serves we sold it in 2003 and threw out the paperwork years ago. Who knows what was done in between. I like to think this was our old one, but who knows. Just wish I could know for sure.
