Is this possible???
 

72 z28... i have verified that all the #'s on my car are matching, and all the dates are correct... EXCEPT... the tranny is a m-22, everything on the tranny is correct including: maincase, extension and side-cover castings all correct! date is correct! but, the vin# stamping reads: 12N192117 but the actual vin# is: 12N162117... is it possible that when stamping the vin at the time of assembly (in 1972) they accidentaly had the 6 turned upside down??? ive been told that it is very possible... just wanting to verify this information... or should the question be, is this likely??? thanks....

Very possible, only human alot bigger mistakes were made.

How bout some pics of your car? I had a 72 Z project car... Mine was Mulsanne Blue w/ blue interior, spoiler and stripe delete.

I second that, lets see some pictures.

Hey, wouldn't you think that the VIN on the block would be the same mistake? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Maybe the 6 or all the numbers fell out between the block and tranny and the worker put the 6 back in up side down.

I believe the 2 stampings should be identical.
