Hi Guys, new guy here doing some due diligence, was hoping you guys could take a look at this and tell me your thoughts? Restamp?

thanks Rich
Real deal in my opinion.
Engine pad is original.
Kurt- does the vin stamp look sketchy to you?
Thanks guys appreciate the help- Rich
Is that another N I see below and to the left of the 8?
Or more like a 19N. Dont like the alignment either.
I ran across a 70Z that had been restamped and after blowing up the picture you could see the original stamp also. definitely looks to have another stamp
you can see another 19N... in the lower left of the picture
Can you get us a pic of the other stamping that is visible in the lower left of the second pic?
Several years ago a '69 Trans-Am original engine was found to have a Camaro VIN stamp. There are other examples of duplicate stamps on block castings.
Careful about throwing this one under the bus.
Definitely has a double stamp. Could always be the same number (mistrike), but need a close up of the second stamp to be sure -
Regards,
Steve
I confirmed on the engine pad. I didn't look at the VIN. :)
You've definitely have two stamps there. I'm having the reverse problem-no stamp. I keep reading about the 'inconsistencies' at the factory since a lot of what we consider important was of no concern back then. Hopefully its just that in both cases.
Do I see something stamped right of the DZ?
Can you post a larger pic of the pad and the partial VIN stamp area?
