1970 Camaro L78 - Original Engine?

VIN stamp is interesting. Looks like it was incorrectly stamped 563552 and then incorrectly restamped 56 523… ( maybe I’m wrong). But, totally incorrect and no doubt 100% original !

Nothing wrong with 375 ponies, a Muncie and 12 bolt in a silver split bumper SS !!
Sweet find ! Good luck with it!

Thanks Steve and thank you for all your support working through the issues I had posting images. All seems to be working well now.

Yeah tend to agree. I was trying to make heads & tails of the double VIN stamp.

My old 70 L78 Camaro had the VIN stamped multiple times but it was an early car and I don't think it had any mistakes. I think the first stamp had hit that raised round section so it was pretty light and I think they stamped it again further down.
