calling 1969 Camaro Z/28 19L554152 - I found your block!
 

Hi Gang,

Listing this here for the owner of the car first.

I will list for sale with a proper sales ad after I take some more photos / don't hear from the owner of VIN 124379L554152

Would like to see them reunited first. I've also cross posted in the Orphans Thread here.

3956618 casting - cast date of February 3 1969 stamped V0207DZ

Standard bore still!

Cheers all,
Anthony

Going to be tough to match this block up. LOS VINs only went as high as 9L531163.

A February stamped block would have a VIN 9L52XXXX.

Maybe just the second digit in the VIN is messed up.

RUH ROH!!

I do see that now after a quick Google-ing...

So, what does everyone think? This a fugazi stamping or an error - I gotta admit, if spurious, it fooled me!

Thoughts?!

And THANKS Warren!

Cheers,
Anthony

a mirror image 5 might look like a 2 in a gang stamp holder after hitting 65 of them in an eight hour shift... could the second "5" be in place of a correct "2"?

either way... let's hear theories and or comments on the pad / stamping before I abandon this.

Thanks again, in advance all.
Anthony

That's one of two known block VIN stamp anomalies at Van Nuys February/March 69. VIN on the chassis would have been 124379L524152.

Not in the db, does not come up on a Google search.

Once again, William to the rescue! Where else, but this site, could you get that kind of specific knowledge.

This car was missing original block but would have luved to see the stamp. 9L526889. Car was built March 17th.

I know of five other blocks with that misstamp.

Interesting, thanks Kurt, as in, they are "554" when they should've been "524"?

Makes sense, as I assume it wouldn't have been noticed right away, even though it 'should've been'...

Either way Gang, I don't own this block anymore; thanks for all the messages about it!

Cheers everyone,
Anthony
