Hi Guys, new guy here doing some due diligence, was hoping you guys could take a look at this and tell me your thoughts? Restamp?

Is that another N I see below and to the left of the 8?

Or more like a 19N. Dont like the alignment either.

I ran across a 70Z that had been restamped and after blowing up the picture you could see the original stamp also. definitely looks to have another stamp

Can you get us a pic of the other stamping that is visible in the lower left of the second pic?

Several years ago a '69 Trans-Am original engine was found to have a Camaro VIN stamp. There are other examples of duplicate stamps on block castings.

Careful about throwing this one under the bus.

Definitely has a double stamp. Could always be the same number (mistrike), but need a close up of the second stamp to be sure -

Regards,
Steve

I confirmed on the engine pad. I didn't look at the VIN. :)

You've definitely have two stamps there. I'm having the reverse problem-no stamp. I keep reading about the 'inconsistencies' at the factory since a lot of what we consider important was of no concern back then. Hopefully its just that in both cases.

Do I see something stamped right of the DZ?

Can you post a larger pic of the pad and the partial VIN stamp area?
