Re: L78 VIN stamp photos
Sure Ed. Clean the pad best you can and take 6-10 photos from all angles with the macro setting and mail the uncompressed unedited pics to my gmail account: [email protected]. I had the exhaust manifolds off when I took my pics -- maybe if you can get the car up in the air, it'd be easier to get the photos.

Re: L78 VIN stamp photos
Can any of the '69 gurus answer my questions on stampings like this? Where they gang stamped? Did they match the tranny stampings exactly? Where both hand stamped (hard to believe that might be the case, but I have no idea)? If they are gang stamped, how can they get so skewed and is that common? I am considering buying a '69 Camaro in the Spring and would love to have this knowledge before I start looking for a car

Re: L78 VIN stamp photos
I think he has the '7' highlighted wrong. The top of the '7' is lower than where he highlighted and then that makes the numbers line up pretty good. But it also lookslike that area was sanded down a little in the attempt to read the numbers and that actually made it worse to read.

Re: L78 VIN stamp photos
I amy be way off on this, and you would need for John Z. Kurt S. or Mark C. to chime in, because of their specialized knowledge, but I believe that by this time, yes they were gang stamped. However the gang holder seems to have been pretty worn out by the time this one was stamped. Seems like the individual stamps could kind of wiggle up or down. It also seems to me (and again, I haven't seen nearly as many as the aformentioned guys) that on many of the Norwood stamps I have looked at, the second to the last digit appears to be higher than the others.

Re: L78 VIN stamp photos
Here's another closer look.
Appears to me the "19N" part of the stamp is a slightly larger font but still top-aligned with the rest of the stamp. The "603675" is all aligned except for the "7" (second to last digit)
