I've heard of the VINs being upside down before. Doesn't appear to be all that unusual. Give us the low-down Rick. The number on my transmission case is that way (an Arlington car).

Oh, and before someone else mentions it.....Please fill out your profile. We all like to know who we're talking with! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] Good luck and welcome to a Great Site!

Yes...The Upside Down is Typical of Kansas City Mo. Leeds Plant cars.
My Chevelle Has it as well.
The one that is also stamped by the Oil Filter..what is it's casting date?

A buddy of mine has a 1963 Corvette Coupe, late production car. The guys at the St. Lious plant stamped the pad once, it did not go through (?) so they filled the block, and stamped the other side. I may have to brush up on the details of the car. NCRS had no problem with the car. The judges called it GM's Abortion.

My LS6 ElCamino is also a Kansas Plant and the Vin is upside down on the Front Pad. That was one of the Main ways to verify as most Crooks don't know to put it upside down.
