I had a Baltimore built 1972 Chevelle SS U-code years ago with one of the tightest grouping of parts I’ve ever seen.

5/30/72: engine assembly date with VIN & broach marks present
6/1/72: transmission assembly date with VIN present
5/25/72: rear end assembly date
06A build date on the trim tag

In my honest opinion and experience, the car and stamps were all legit. I figured the car may have been held up on the body side and possibly pushed into the second week of June or later. This was not a high dollar car that someone would have the incentive to go through all the trouble to fake.
