If it is a fastback 4 speed car , there were 2091 Fastback 4 speeds.  I'm not sure how many of therm were bench seat cars, but at least that is a start for you.

Welcome to the forum!  The best numbers we have for a Q-code at the numbers listed above.  A Marti report might be able to break down the number that came with a bench seat.  Regardless, you have a pretty rear version of the '72 GTS. 
 
I upgraded you to a full member, so post some pics when you have a chance.  We'd love to see the car.

When you let out the clutch will it try to stall ? Id start with clutch adjustment and work your way back . Not a lot to go bad , gears in trans, Linkage adjustment. IS it going into gear. Its all mechanical .

hmm sounds strange... unless someone's changed it, it shouldn't have a slave cylinder! it's a "Z" bar and push rod system. it is a manual stick shift transmission right?

 i just looked at your pics again... yes it's a stick! are you sure it's actually going into a gear? are the shift rods all connected? is the driveline connected? try all the gears see if it tries to move in any gear??? do you hear any parts spinning, grinding, anything?

weird... it shouldn't even have a slave cylinder if it's original it would be mechanical linkage to actuate the clutch!!!
 and if a hydrolic slave cylinder was dry or not working then you wouldn't be able to put it in gear with it running... it would just grind

 basically you should have something similar to this under there if it's an original 4 sp top loader...

Have you moved the car from that spot at all?  From the sound of it, You may have either a broken input or output shaft, or a toasted clutch.  I had a car stolen years ago with a 4 speed, and when I got it back(after only 80 additional miles on the odo!), the car wouldn't move under it's own power.  Clutch was completely shot.

If You can support the car completely on jackstands, try this;  Looking at the thoughtfully provided diagramThumbs Up, look for the rod that goes to the clutch fork(7515 on the lower part of the diagram, coming out of the bellhousing).  It should adjust like a turnbuckle, making it longer or shorter.  Shorten it up by just about a quarter of an inch(yes, really).  Start the motor and just let it idle, then put it in 1st and try to engage the clutch and spin the rear wheels, IDLING The engine.  If they spin now, figure on replacing the clutch.

Also, rear jackstands positioned under the rear axle, NOT the frame.

Hope this helps!Thumbs UpBig smile
