They are next to impossible to read in the car. If its very visable its probably not real from what I have seen. I had my block clean and used a soapstone to be able to make out most of the numbers with the light just right. My 03D car has a block stamp of V0307

on my 70 Z, I could barely make out one or two numbers... I used thinner and a rag and wiped continually for about 15 mins to clean the paint off the block...the only thing left with orange paint was the VIN number fairly clear. And then a good cell phone up close could take pics....good luck !!

post some pics...sounds like a nice car !!

So since this problem exist sometimes what term do people call there car when they are selling it .when you can't make the Vin out buy the oil filter ? Or what would Jerry M say in his report if I go that route

I'd look a little closer at this area, left and right.... 9? 0?

I have seen original assembly line installed blocks and transmissions wo a vin. Oddly enough the two motors and 2 trans were from different cars and all 4 were Z28s. Blocks are much rarer to find Im told wo a vin than transmissions. You dont have any problem there.

Id stick with "born with drivetrain" it cant be proven wrong, maybe get Jerry to inspect it

I see the 6 and I see a 2. It's stamped on the very edge.
You need to highlight the digits.

Bet you won't need 1st gear most of the time.... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
