Here is a pic of my dist date code for a 16SEP1969 build date - looks like 9G2...not sure that this clears up anything but I read that Jerry M. said Aug 12 1969 was what he was seeing on Sep and Oct build dates.

Thanks Rob - a few things that stand out to me...the B looks more vertical than stubby like the other B's I have seen, including mine and the ones posted under the axle thread.  Additionally, the 2 looks to start its curve much earlier as it comes down than the others I have seen.  Finally, the G appears to have a cross line that extends beyond the outside of the curve and the inside appears to go too far in??  Maybe I am nitpicking but I am curious to see what the experts think.  I will tell you that the seller has invited me, MacNeish or anyone of my choosing to come and inspect the car.  Anyway, just wanted to confirm with everyone here that the stamps for the motor, transmission, axle and the protecto plate and window sticker (all posted in this thread) all look good.  Thanks again.

Guys - I am trying to make a decision about buying this car.  I posted to the motor stamp above and here are the rear axle and transmission stamps.  I am not crazy about the rear axle stamp.  Please let me know what you think.  Thanks, Rob

Thank you Steve. I thought the stamp looked good too. Darell said that perhaps someone would have a close stamp date to compare. Interestingly the stamp date in Jerrys book was close and the 2 in the month code matches exactly as does the D height in relation to the Z. One of the stamps he shows is only a couple weeks difference and the angle of the VIN and the rest of the stamp is consistent with the car I'm looking at. Still waiting on pics of the rest of the drivetrain. He said Tuesday and I will share when I receive. If anyone has a Dec 68 stamp please share. Thanks

here is window sticker as well along with the protecto plate...original?  As some of you guys may know I originally wanted a yellow car and posted the pics of the links of those yellow cars that were vetted here as not the real deal.  Trying to figure out what could be bad here.  Hate having to go through this process.  Have a great MDW everyone!

Guys so happy site is back up. Let me know what you think of this stamp. I compared to the stamp in Jerrys book and thought things looked good with the month code and DZ part of stamp. Not sure of VIN PORTION. Let me know. I am considering partnering up with a guy on a car. Thanks. I have the original window sticker and protecto plate if that will help. Thanks
