Re: 1970 L89 4-speed Nova????????
The VIN stamps don't match, the "0" is different, as well as the alignment.

Re: 1970 L89 4-speed Nova????????
 As you can see from this picture here.... you can see the faint outline of the PREVIOUS vin number starting under the fouth digit (4) and the letter "C". Just my 2 cents.

It's a stamp job. Don't worry, just enjoy the car.

Re: 1970 L89 4-speed Nova????????
I think Budnate and a few others are on to something. There is a slight dropoff with the straight edge. I put my magnetic base dial indicator on it and it seems to be about .003 difference from the top of the engine code to the bottom. I agree, it does appear to have had numbers under the code. The magic question we already heard, has anyone ever seen a Chevelle or any other BBC with the vin # stamped under the block code? I think Chevelle's & Nova's are the only ones to have the CKU code. There is no other #'s stamped by the oil filter so it had to be on the pad. As far as enjoying the car, I agree with that to!! I'm almost done building a 1970 "CE" replacement engine with the 854 casting 4-bolt block standard bore, GM L-78 pistons with the .330 dome, GM 6223 steel crank standard on the mains & rods, GM 842 aluminum heads, Lunati hyd. roller cam & valve train with L-88 specs. and the GM 163 intake, check out the attachment, the engine from the car is in the crate on the floor. The car is a ton of fun, it just really pisses me off when people pull shady stuff!!!!
