There are many pictures of the car before disassembly and during -all the way up to it's current state. I would guess 1000 photos minimum. I will try to post more next week.
I am not asking anyone here to authenticate this car. There has been a man who specializes in 69 Camaros that has been tasked with writing a "report" on it. Wether his report will state that the block is original or not is entirely up to him. I was merely looking for other VIN numbers that were stamped with these same style/font characters in an effort to provide as many examples as possible to make my case that it is, in fact a "known" stamping font. If anyone here has a Norwood block with these same style characters (the way I understand it, the 6's and 9's are the ones being called into question more so than the others) and wouldn't mind taking and/or sending me pics of them it would be greatly appreciated. We have already found several examples, but the more examples we can find, the better. Thanks, everyone. |

BTW it's the engine assembly stamps that are more closely scrutinized and you did not get those from the Norwood plant. I am aware of your publications and the research you have done for the hobby. It just sounded like you where claiming to have the one and only set of stamps and tools used at the factory and that is just wrong. |
Thank you for your clarification. This is a thread on Norwood. I have no concern for other plants or tooling that may or may not have survived.
To be clear, I have the only known Norwood VIN derivative Gang stamper known to exist along with the stamps that were used. I also have the repair stamper that was used. The fact that this tooling was saved was not by chance, It was saved on purpose by several workers BECAUSE of the specific production period history associated with the tooling. I was chosen to be the caretaker was because I cared enough to invest myself in telling the story of these men - nothing more, nothing less. |
Can’t believe that knucklehead is stamping blocks/Trans with a mushroomed tool & not wearing safety glasses. If that’s Norwood - their enforcement of safety equipment rules was pretty lax!

The photos credited to Hanson are described as originating at St Louis Assembly and the black valve cover L-82 being stamped supports that description.
