Great photos, thanks for sharing. Looked like a good day for it. From what I can see there was  a nice variety of cars there too, which is good to see.

And yes, it was advertised as a genuine matching numbers RS/SS.

Those old posts certainly make interesting reading. So looks like someone has had a go at re-stamping the decked (327) block, or has had another engine swap along the way.

Thanks, yes that is what I thought too.

Hi all,
I was considering looking at a 67 RS/SS and  requested the tag details from the owner before I committed to travel to view the car in person. From the pics I received the VIN is 124377N212188 and the cowl tag says 11E build date. This does not appear right to me - seeking some expert opinion on this. Car has obviously been restored at some point and appears to have a non-original drive train. 10 bolt diff and a very odd looking engine stamp -misaligned characters in the engine code and suffix is MT (cowl tag says powerglide), and from the photo partial VIN is not visible.
So my questions are;
Is it possible that the tags are correct together (as in time-frame)?
Should engine codes always be aligned ie gang stamped? (although in this case I think the suffix is wrong for this car anyway).

Thanks in advance,
Brian.
