Title: TRANS ID HELP
Post by: KRB5000 on July 30, 2008, 03:12:45 AM

I HAVE A MUNCIE WITH THE FOLLOWING NUMBERS. P8R03 AND A VIN OF 18K119713, I THINK THIS IS A 1968 MUNCIE, BUILT OCT. 03, 1968. COULD SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT CAR AND YEAR OF CAR THIS IS OUT OF? THANKS, KEITH

Keith, you're close. The transmission IS a 68, but it was assembled on October third, 1967. Muncies are dated for the model year, not the actual year it was built.

The 18K119713 is the VIN from a 1968 Chevelle (or El Camino) assembled at the Kansas City, Missouri plant.
