----Stefano,,,A local appraiser on the northside of Detroit came to look at a 69 SS Chevelle that I knew something about and told the owner point blank that the car didnt have the original engine because there was no partial serial # on the pad, but the rest of the #s on the pad were correct. I knew him and called him up and told him to come back out and we would review his statement. When he got there I had the car up in the air and asked him to look by the starter. He said "why?". He then proceeded to tell me that those serial #s had probably been stamped in there by some monkey. He now has the rest of the story.......Bill S
