LOS Big Block VIN Stamp

Mark,
The Leeds Chevelles are the only plant that consistantly stamped their VIN's upside down though you and I both have seem some abnormalities especially at the LOS plant. I do not have any LOS cars documented (1970 only Chevelles) with upside down VIN's.

Thanks guys! Pete, it's a car and everything looks fine otherwise. I am waiting for a better engine pad pic before making a final judgement on it.

Rick, I sent you another email or two on the 17,000 mile LS6 I found, but I'm not sure in you got them??? I'm still waiting for the docs on the car, but had it inspected on the weekend. Appears to be legit, but has had a little more "fluffing" than described. I'll make an offer if the docs check out as expected, but not anywhere near the asking price. Thanks for your help with it so far

Mark,
The last e-mail I got from you (3) was on Aug 17th complete with several photos. You askes some questions on some things that I mentioned that I saw in the photos. If you sent me an e-mail since then I did not get it. Rule of thumb when it comes to me, if you send me an e-mail I will always respond back. So if you were waiting for a response, I did not get that e-mail.

Thanks for the kudos. I am always willing to help with any questions on these cars so please never feel like you or anyone else cannot ask.

Even their transmition vin stampings were like no other
numbers.
