That's a long story! When the whole world knows that you are restoring a valuable car - "original" parts seem to come out of the woodwork! Several people have contacted me about the original trans. I got what I believe to be the original from the same guy that had the rear. I don't believe that it's a restamp. Also,The 660 case die cast date code is perfect for my car. I've attached a photo for all of the gurus.

I know this may seem a little late, but I buy and sell a lot of Muncies (about 80 a year) and this 1969 stamp doesn't look like the M21 stamps that I have ever seen. I have to dig up some past photos for comparison but that B definetly looks suspect. And 95% of the Norwood vin stamps I see are gang stamped. I know anything can happen but still.... See attached and make up your own minds....

Thanks Matt - Yeah - It sure isn't a perfect stamp. On the other hand, if someone was restamping a case - it seems like they would make it perfect. I'm sure that there are lots of gang stamp holders out there. I'm certainly no expert, that's why I'm posting everything about this car. I appreciate everyone's input. This reminds me of my original LS6 block that had the vin stamped upside down. People who looked at it told me that it couldn't be original - then we found out that 100s of them were stamped that way!
