I have this car in my database. It came out of Minnesota with a real DZ engine in it that had the original stamping of V0501DZ.

Looking closely at what the seller has posted for an image of the VII27DZ, when I look closely, I see an image underneath the V, the 2, and the D....and possibly the Z
To me , it looks like it was re-stamped.
Jonesy...When you got the VO5O1DZ info, was it an 010 block, because the 386 blocks were far from being used at that time!
There is a guy who rumages thru one of our local swap meets EVERY MONTH and buys up all BB blocks, and 386,618, and 010's from 69 era, and he even advertises restampings for whatever you need. That guy worries me!
Too bad this GOLD Z is in question, but I see issues with what is provided with the DZ id#ig given here....
