Decoding/Numbers / Real DZ engine & VIN stampings..
« on: February 18, 2013, 06:01:09 AM »
Sorry about the quality of the pictures. These are from an aquaintance who is considering this car and is asking me about it's authenticity..
The car can be found here.. http://cars.oodle.com/detail/used-1969-chevrolet-camaro-for-sale/3308423637-cortlandt-manor-ny/
The VIN is said to be 124379N627673. The ...618 block apparently has a March 21 1969 casting date.
I don't yet know the build date and haven't seen the X77 tag yet, but this VIN should make the tag a 1st or 2nd week of April, right?
The engine number is very difficult to read, but the 3 appears to be slightly out of alignment.
The VIN number at the oil pad also looks to not only be out of alignment but the digits appear skewed.
Am I right to be quite suspicious of these stampings and therefore the car?
