I have a friend who just got the is block from a family member who had it for years. It does not have the correct crank, but I wanted opinions if the stamp looks to be original?
I have not seen the block in person or seen a vin stamp (yet).
I can email the larger pic to someone if they can can post it. thank you
I resized it, blew it up enough to see the stamping a little better - looks legit. I don't see any negatives -
Regards,
Steve
Austin sent me a large .png file but still insufficient detail, which I reduced to under 200 KB for posting for him...
I don't see any issues wtih the stamping, but image detail insufficient to see broach marks!
Please email me the full size photo. Thanks.
I will get another pic from him with more detail and better source of light.
So I was over at his house yesterday, and found the stamp by the oil filter. After about an hour of wiping it down with lacquer thinner. The stamp appeared.
L91**4884
I am guessing it was suppose to be 19L504884, but the 1 and the L got switched in the gang stamp. the 5 and 0 you could not make out, but for the time frame of (0925) I thought a 5 and 0 made the most sense. The 9 1 and 4884 were the most visible.
I tried taking pictures but my camera phone could not capture it.
Legit stamp.
Just in case the car is out there likely VIN 124379L504884
Definitely 884? 9L504984 is on the 1969 Orphans list...... so close
984 isn't a Z. ;)
If you're not in the know..... you can only wonder!
It is definitely 4884. No doubt about that
