Re: engine vin #'s
Yes, it is an LF7, and the car was built within 6 weeks of the start of production of the 69 model year. Last week of September, first week of October 1968. 09E overlaps the end of calendar September into the first week of October. Seem's like a bit high of a spread (5 weeks) between engine assembly and car build, but possible. Partial VIN should probably have been on the pad. But LA switched from the pad to back of the block around October, and then switched back to the pad after the first of the year. So it could be the original engine.
The later half of the production year comment thru me. Production in LA ran from August 68 to June 69 with almost a 2 month UAW strike April 19th to June 5th.
