Re: engine and vin stamping
Shouldn't the VIN derivative on the block read
19NXXXXXX
(1) representing Chevrolet
(9) Year ie 1969
Then the vin?
Also has anyone ever seen an engine block casting date and assembly date that are 1 day apart? Could that be done?
Cast, broached, machined and assembled in one day? I don't know... Just asking the question.
The Warranty folder looks a little too white.
I convert and sell that type of paperboard and at that time there were not as many optical brighteners, the whole bleaching process at that time was different than what is widely used today. The pulping process at that time was acidic (which causes the paper to yellow and degrade) and now it is alkaline (much more stable). They used Chlorine Dioxide now it is elemental Chlorine free (ECF), hell I have rolls of paper that have been in my warehouse for a year or two and are not that white. Even when you cut down into the roll they are off colored.
For the price the car and the paperwork should be bulletproof.
For about $100 I can get the paper tested...hmmm
