Question on e-bay L78 vert

[olredalert]

-------I generally look at a set of numbers on a pad and when they are as straight and parallel as these appear I have grave doubt. Could the factory have stamped them that neatly??? Sure they could have, but in 30 years of looking at these cars I have only seen 1 or 2 original pad stamps that lined up like that. You can almost forget about what #s are there when they look like this (too nice)!!! Then add in the fact that the pad is painted, covering up any broach marks or milling marks. Make sure a qualified person takes a good hard look at this car before cash changes hands......Bill S
