[72nova]

COPO I searched for two hours. I did find one photo but it wasn't what I was looking for Do you have any suggestions?

X66 714/Joe, I am looking for photos of VIN stampings. Thanks

You're going to need to give this group a little insite of what you're trying to do if you want some real help. From what I'm reading, it looks like you're trying to do a forgery...Joe

March VIN stamps are on the rough cast area on the bell housing flange of the block down by the starter. You will not likely find ANY clear pics of a VIN, unless it is a fake. They were not stamped very deep, and are normally NOT legible, except maybe two or three characters.

IMHO, they do not vary much from one month to another. Almost all are crappy. If you see one that is perfectly legible, there is a good chance, it is a fake. I have a few examples, but nothing from March that I am aware of. Pretty much all similar after Dec. 1968. All difficult, if not impossible to read.

Check this page out: http://www.camaros.org/drivetrain.shtml#PartialVINs

"In the 1969 model year, the partial VIN for V8 engines was stamped in either of two locations: on the engine pad or near the oil filter. The alternator was moved to the passenger side in 1969 which covered the engine stamp pad and caused the VIN stamp to be relocated by the oil filter. The block in this area is raw unmachined casting which makes this stamp difficult to see. Generally, the Norwood plant stamped the VIN on the engine pad on early cars and moved the stamp by the oil filter in the December 68 time frame (there are a few known exceptions). Los Angeles was not as consistent and the VIN stamp location varied during the year."

I'm not trying to do a forgery. In fact, I'm trying to prove this one is not a forgery. The reason I can't post it is because the car belongs to a client and I don't want to go posting about his car on the web. I am familiar with the location and am aware that they are difficult to read. Thanks for your time

This isn't some sort of prank or scam. I honestly just need some examples of Norwood VIN numbers from the 4th week of March, 1969. That's it.

My Z is that time frame and the VIN will be by the oil filter. You should be able to find some good stampings here or the camaros.org site
