69 Z28 pad vin stamp in April '69?
Ebay # 322374943323
Has anyone ever seen an LA built Z28 with a vin # on the block front pad in April? That seems months later than I have ever seen on an original block? |

Jerry's report says original to the car, but the "7" and the "D" look way to close together to have been gang stamped.
Not saying it isn't original. Kurt could probably shed some light on this one. Report also says the housing is original to the car, but the casting date has been ground off?????

The VIN on the pad would be correct for this timeframe, but it sure would be nice to see the whole pad. I think the stamping could be legit from the little I see.

Jonesy has many more examples for comparison than I do. Like everyone else, I would like to see better pics.

Re: 69 Z28 pad vin stamp in April '69?
I know we've seen the very early (Oct-Nov '68) '69 LA built Camaros with the vin by the oil filter. By '69 the vins appeared on the front pad, but like Norwood, LA seemed to use both the pad and oil filter area from late '68 through early '69. My 01B built LA Z is stamped by the oil filter and my 03B built LA Z is stamped on the pad. I have not seen an LA built Z with a pad stamped vin with a body date later than March. '69, thats why I'm asking. Does anyone have any examples of an LA built Camaro with a pad stamped vin later than March. '69?

Yes, the stamping is original and correct for that period with the VIN on the pad. Spacing is correct as well. The latest LA pad with Vin on the pad which I have is 418DZ in a 5A built car.
