Gone already. That was fast.
Date stamp and VIN seem to match up. This would have been about 1000 cars from mine.
-
Does it look like it had another number stamped on the pad and sanded off ? I see the top of a 8 or something.
-
Could be James. Those are definitely circular grinder marks on the left side of the pad.
-
Might have been a CE that got a new stamp maybe?
-
The stamp looked OK to me, but I'm pretty sure someone ground the VIN off the deck to the left of the build date stamp.
-
I saw this and asked about that same thing with the now missing VIN stamp from the pad. I figured someone sanded the original VIN down and stamped something else on the oil filter to make it match a different car at some point in it's like.
-
Gone by the time I tried to see it, was it a Norwood or VN VIN ? Well within the time frame for an above-the-filter partial VIN code, could have been a machine shop stamping during a rebuild, but the deck surface looks a bit too smooth overall by my opinion. Gone for now -
