Default Re: whats it worth: 69 mach1 428 CJ 4spd

If the car is a Metuchen built vin 9T the vin may be on the back of the drivers side head and if changed over the years will be on the passenger side front. If it is a 9F Dearborn or 9R San Jose it will likely be on the pad previously mentioned drivers side just below the head. It will only be a partial vin. You can see it using a mirror and good flashlight AFTER rubbing the area to remove any paint. Before you go to that trouble check the date on the block and heads. "most" cast dates fall 3-8 weeks prior to the cars actual build on the Marti (not the date on the door tag) The block date is located on an angled pad just under the oild filter adapter and will read Year, Month Day. The heads dates are under the covers. If those dates proceed or grossly precede the actual car build date it is likely not maching numbers. A solid driver with non matching numbers well advertised and photographed will bring in the 40 range in this market. A 4 speed will help and if so will have the tach. Good luck
