'69 RS/Z, interesting engine stamp
 

Nice looking RS/Z originally painted Daytona Yellow. Seller states that the DZ block is a NOM, but I'm intrigued by the assembly date of "0838" (evidently August 38th) :-)

Is this a known anomaly?

Either I have seen that 0838 (i.e. August 38) engine stamp before, or there are multiples.

Yes, known anomaly. About a half-dozen examples out there.

Probably supposed to be Aug 31.

This car was just sold a couple years ago and I think it was also mentioned here. Can't find it now?

Would be nice to see the rest of the VIN stamp

Were any late '68 cars DZ stamped as some Suffix listings note?:hmmm:
:beers:

As mentioned, this is a known anomaly. I have pics of this stamping from 5 different VIN cars.
Its a legit stamping and this engine is not original to this car.

The one pictured above I believe is 19N507576. I have pic of the whole pad.

Reminds me of the funky transmission VIN stamp on my original unrestored 69 L35/M20 LOS car. Occasionally some strange things happened at the assembly plants.
