Decoding/Numbers / 1969 DZ VIN stamping query
« on: July 20, 2015, 11:36:14 PM »
Hi,
First, a huge thanks to CRG for putting together the most amazing collection of information/data on the first gen. It has been my go-to source while restoring my car. Question: My engine is stamped V1011DZ on the pad, but no VIN. There is also no VIN stamped on the rough cast area by the oil filter. The car is a Los Angeles build, dated 10C. One source I believe to be reliable has told me that the L.A. cars always had the VIN stamped on the pad, that only Norwood cars resorted to the alternate location out of the inconvenience of the alternator being in the way. I'm sorry if there are posts on this topic already, I can never seem to find them in searches. Thanks in advance for the replies.
