Decoding/Numbers / Early DF Code wheel on ebay

« on: August 21, 2009, 10:27:39 PM »

I have a couple of original 12/67 dated wheels from my 12D build Z/28. Mine both have the large DF that is upside down at the valve stem and the only date appears on the inside of the wheel (not seen when a tire is mounted). This wheel has the same date but then at the valve stem has the DF rightside up and K stampings etc... Is this a replacement wheel? This seller is calling it an original and says he has another identical to this one. What gives?

Decoding/Numbers / Possible Matching Number MO Block Surfaced, What Are the Odds?

« on: March 25, 2009, 04:34:42 AM »

Ok, Here we go. This may very well be a scam. Believe me, I am a skeptic. A seller on ebay listed that he had been stashing a bunch of original MO blocks. So, I ask him if any of them have original VIN stamps. He says it will take some time to gather the information. Here is a link to his items for sale: http://motors.shop.ebay.com/merchant/thegmparts_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZ

Here is the dialog copied and pasted:

Me:
Hi, I am looking for my original MO 302. Do any of yours have the VIN stamped on them?

Him:
yes what is the last 6 of your vin you are looking for ,thanks the old engine shop

Me:
363362

Him:
the old engine shop here i have been taking and collecting over 300 special hi performance engines all have aluminum intakes over 20 18n

?? 302s #678 casting V1212MO---V0715MO ,s WHAT VIN ARE YOU LOOKING FOR I WILL CHECK IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO PULL MANY MANY ENGINES FROM THE RACKS THANKS

Me:
Thanks

Him:
on this 18N400928 V0314MO i have 8 early engines we are in the process of re building starting with 302900 up 307272,3132305,3240214,333272,335126,362363, to 362367 and will look just like this one went done THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR INTEREST

Of course, I was excited to see that a possible match is on the list. But, I am also a little worried because I provided the 6 digits. I did not give a production date for the car so I am waiting to find out the specifics about the casting date and V****MO number. Does anybody know this seller in Indiana? The crazy thing is, I know for a fact my car spent some time in Illinois and Indiana. There is no way I would even consider a purchase without seeing and posting pictures of the block stampings on this website and getting a blessing from all. One thing that bothers me is that some of the vin numbers listed have 7 digits instead of 6. He did provide phone number. Thanks for the advice.

Decoding/Numbers / Is This 12 Bolt Rear End A Restamp?

« on: March 15, 2009, 02:09:26 AM »

Date K 5 7 Axle code is BE 11 28G2 as copied and pasted from the auction. That means a late 1967 casting correct for a 1968 model car. But, I do not see any BE code axles for 1968 in my books. Looks like the BE code was not used until 1969. Could this have been assembled that early? It is listed on this site as a 2.56 axle for 1968 but no books support that. What gives?

Decoding/Numbers / Black 1968 RS Z/28 on ebay - cowl tag numbers vs VIN?

« on: March 03, 2009, 12:05:31 AM »

I know this car is not restored to it's correct colors but do the VIN number and cowl line up correctly? It lists the VIn as 124378N370375 and the NOR body number as 16841. By my calculation this VIN should be somewhere in January 1968 but the cowl tag has 09E. Am I missing something?

General Discussion / Jerry MacNeish Stopped By Today

« on: February 26, 2009, 08:20:44 PM »

Jerry came by to document my 68 today. It was so cool watching him do his thing. He showed me numbers on parts and places I never knew existed. I was so excited about the whole process. Here is a picture of Jerry and me in front my car. My yard looks like a Camaro swap meet since I had it all out for him to see. Anyway, great meeting you Jerry!

Restoration / Aluminum Intake Manifold Splash Sheld Removal

« on: February 20, 2009, 07:17:39 PM »

I want to remove the splash shield on my intake. The rivets are the button head type. Can they be removed intact? Or will I have to chisel or drill them in order to remove the shield? Any help would be great. If you have done this, please let me know how it worked out.

Decoding/Numbers / 1967-8 RS Gas Cap GM or not?

« on: February 19, 2009, 10:04:23 PM »

Hi all, I bought this RS gas cap and it came in a GM box with correct part number 3910189. I bought it on the premise that is was GM NOS but I did not pay ebay price for it. I notice that one just like mine sold for over $180 recently. I also notice that some have screws on the back and some have rivets. Please tell me if mine is an original. I do not see a part number on it anywhere.
