No, sorry. However, I remember John stating at one time very many years ago these types of engines were typically rated around 200 to 250HP depending on their use.

Any three digit suffix code that starts with a number (in this case the number "8") is for commercial, agricultural, marine, etc... Things like pumps and generators.

Am I the only one who thinks those are two different tags?

No, you're right. They're two different tags. Observe the 01A below

Could these issues make registering this car a problem in some states?

No, not really. As long as the VIN on the title matches the VIN on the car you're okay. Most (if not all) department of motor vehicle departments don't even care about the trim tag.

Don't be afraid to post the entire VIN - 123379N547073 - and that tag doesn't belong on that car.

You'll need to post good, high resolution pictures (or email them to me) of the following:

1. VIN
2. Engine pad stamp located on the front passenger side of the block
3. Transmission suffix / date code located on the driver side of the transmission toward the front
4. Rear axle suffix / date code stamped on the front of the passenger side axle tube
5. Rear axle date code cast into the center section

Without documentation it's impossible to determine a 68 Z28. You can do a "best guess" by the above, but you can never be absolutely positive.

bertfam - how were you able to track down the vin?

From the body number. And how do you know it's a Z? What documentation do you have?

The VIN is 124378N422879 and it was on ebay back in August of 2015 by seller horseracin4fun and at that time it had a restamped engine.

Recent sale of 1969 Z28 on BAT:

That's a completely different car than the subject.

Rubber hoses were not wrapped from the factory. They were color coded if necessary, but not wrapped. Only wire harnesses were wrapped.

1969 - Orphans / Re: 1969 Z-28 Drive train
« on: June 16, 2023, 04:53:54 PM »
Yep. The Craigslist seller just replied that yes, the location of the car is known and the current owner doesn't want the drive train. He's going a different route (which probably means custom)

According to the ad.... (The original car is known and not available)

I don't understand that statement. The original car is owned by someone other than the Craigslist seller so how does he know of the car??? And also what does he mean by "not available"?

I emailed the seller and he came back with 19L519638 so the full VIN would be 124379L519638 and it IS in the db from 1999. I don't know if the owner then still has the car but I'll email him and let him know.
