I took a Quick Glance when I was over there today an the VIN Stamp looked like it was 10L. Butt that was just a Quick Glance. Will check again Tommorrow.

Neat to see that both pics have big 7's in them.

Thanks Mike.

Coincidentally, another Van Nuys Chevelle I came across today had big 7's on a Feb car.

I have the stamping from your old LS6 somewhere here. I know that that engine VIN started 0Lxxxxxx. It didnt start 70Lxxxxxx.

Thanks Mike, but I have a pic of it here. You're gettting old buddy...it did start with "70L"

Can you post that pic of the CON VIN?
If it is a 7,that would've been a workers error and should've been 10L123456 stamped on the pad originally.
1=stands for Chevrolet division.
0=Model year.
L=plant Van Nuys.
123456=last 6 of VIN#

Is that a Van Nuys assembled Vehicle you're referring to,because a 7 stamped first indicates a GM of Canada assembled vehicle and they didn't build LS6's.

mr70,
I was under that impression as well but since Mark has been looking we have come up with several Chevelles with the 70L including at least 2 LS-6's. Both stamps are identical. I am convinced that just when I think I have a handle on what is going on someone comes up with new information to prove otherwise.
