Originality / Re: Wiper motor stamping

« Last post by CantRepeat on Today at 05:37:26 PM »

Well the vintage Pullman stamp is for sure what was used.

I bought four of them and the first arrived today and is a dead ringer for the stamp. I need to work on ink/paint and my technique before I actually do the stamp but pretty happy with how it will look.

Restoration / Re: bellhousing alignment-any new info?

To Sauron327, my personal email address is JST69Z28@gmail.com if you could send me Jody's .pdf files, much appreciated. 

At this point, I am going to get a dial indicator and try the concentric and parallel checks.  I have the time and want to learn that.   

OK

Great find and interesting read!
I have a '68 396 SS/RS Norwood car with a 09C build date. I bought it from the original owner in '86 with the POP and all service and registration documentation, but didn't get the original bill of sale or window sticker.

Decoding/Numbers / Caveat Emptor-VIN tag problem?

« Last post by william on May 22, 2024, 12:49:02 PM »

https://www.ebay.com/itm/196405745892

Reported VIN 124379N521437

Ad states: "Ca built and registered car Black Ca. Tags."

Car is an SS-RS convert; that's a Norwood coupe VIN. Engine bay photo appears to show a 2nd design Norwood tag.

That had to be one of the last Z28's built at Van Nuys.

It’s getting expensive to build a numbers matching fake nowadays with paying for fake docs,
re-stamping motors, switching vins tags and repo trim tags. And of course the cost of completely rebuilding a rusted out 55 year old car. And don’t forget possible laws suits.  $90,200. Seems reasonable
