Low mileage '68 Z? Sounds like everyone's got one.  ;)

CORRECTION:  Low mileage '68 Z? Everyone wants one!  :)

X2! And I had been told the car only had 19 thousand some miles on it by a local who knew of the car.

I emailed the full size picture over to Kurt for posting - should bring a lot of clarity to the stamp pad.

What's with the two different 3's in the VIN? The one on the right looks like it was done with a handheld engraver. Sure looks pretty beat up overall for only 19K miles. I would have to see it right in front of me, AND with the POP in my hand.. Danny

Are there legit examples of hand stamped MO's in the date base?

I saw the pic of the car. I'd guess Fathom Blue, but I've been wrong on shades of blue before.

It's the strangest stamp I've seen, but I think it's real. Never seen one like that.

Beautiful car... first time I had seen a 68 painted the color I was stunned, so much so I forgot to take pictures of it.

I have seen original blocks that had the suffix changed and were delivered new as such, the last I saw was a survivor 71 or 72 LT1 vette can't remember if it was ground or obliterated with XXX and new above it?

Is the VIN stamp in a viable location for a gang holder stamp?

I've seen quite a few MO's with individual VIN characters hand stamped.
