1969 chevelle 396/375 aluminium head....

[Mr70]

There is not a lot known about these 1968 L-89 cars,but I do not like what you have relayed so far.
To recap:
*The #440 block is a LATE 1968(August)to EARLY 1969 production ONLY.
*They ended 1968 Baltimore production in July,1968,& Started 1969 Production in September 1968 with unit #300001.
*The casting date of G 11 8,July 11th,1968 makes sense.
*The Tonawanda assembled date of T 08 24,August 24th,1968,makes sense.
*The VIN# you supplied me with,is a mid May,1968 Baltimore,Chevelle-Elco VIN.
This is the problem area,& NOT a 1969 VIN# either,it should not be before the other two mentioned dates.
*I don't know where you are getting the Post Car possibility?

...The "1"...should be the "5th" digit of a "13" digit vin
....and according to my previous post...the "fourth and fifth" digits ...denote a "2 door sedan"....
....am I reading that correctly? ( the section Chevrolet Chevelle / Nomad 1965 - 1971 )

What's the entire VIN# John?
You won't find the Entire VIN# on the engine block,only the CON (Confidential) VIN number,which is an abbreviated VIN#.

The full 1968 Chevelle VIN# should look like this example:
138378B123456
