Block stamping thoughts?

[Kurt S]

I'm pretty sure the pad is real. I see those swirls, but they are from a sanding pad, IMO, not machining.
It compares very well, both VIN and engine stamps.

Thanks Kurt. I was more concerned with the swirls than the stamps. I thought the vin stamping might be a little bigger than Normal too, but I don’t have a good comp.

"the engine suffix was stamped on the deck before the heads were mounted (at least for bb's....not sure about sb's), which would explain how some stamps can be so close to the heads that would otherwise make it impossible for a gang stamp to reach."

exactly!!

Thanks guys. I have a message in with the seller asking to speak with him. One of the nicest 67 SS’s that I have seen advertised in a while.

Cool car and can't help but wonder what it was like before recent paint?
If Engine/Trans stamped w/ same gang, are the differences such as spacing between the L & 1 & 5 + font shapes of the 5's and first 8's also first 8 elevation @ bottom etc all just normal results of random hammer hits/loose letters in the gang/difference in materials being struck?

I spoke to the owner and he has pics of the car before paint for anyone interested. 3 owner car...all are alive can be contacted. Thinks the second owner scratched up the pad cleaning it up. Nice guy, nice car. Looking for north of $60k.

That's a nice looking 67, and it sounds great too. Sounds like it has more than 325 horse?

[Zedder]

It does sound nice. Claims to be factory cam etc. It does have true dual exhaust though.
