8 or B for 1968

[jonesey]

Gday gents,
This is the VIN on my 68 convertible
As you can see there seems to be a B stamped where the 8 should be..is this common ? or is there something sinister going on here.

If that's the VIN on your dash, that's definitely not an original GM VIN plate.  Its some kind of home made one.  Maybe the original was lost, number reissued by the state, or maybe something more sinister.

Jonesey that's definitely an unusual stamp. Whereabouts in Aus are you? Feel free to PM if you want to have a yarn.

OK...I have to ask.....what does this mean "yarn"?
It has to be more than knitting needles :-)
That stamping looks like it is on a machined pad. I can see the machine marks faintly.

 No matter how old one gets, it's never too late to learn of something new :-)

Thanks, Paul!

Thanks for the replies. A yarn means a chat..the car is located in Aust. I may have to pull the whole dash out to take a better look.

[jonesey]

Sorry Kurt, the stamp is located on the (your) drivers side dash.The car is over here is Oz.

The VIN plate shouldn't be stamped, it should be embossed.

Below is what a factory '68 VIN plate should look like.

Yikes, that's just a homemade VIN tag!

Good morning -

I think you are correct Kurt - if this is on the dash pad?

Jonesey - any chance you can post a photo from a little farther away?

[jonesey]

There you go.
Definatatly a dodgy then by looking at your originals above.looks like I will have to pull the dash out and see what is really behind there.

You should also check the two partial VINs stamped on the body.
