The stamps are fine, IMO.
The stories on the other hand.....

This sounds like a jailhouse/campfire urban myth bulls@@t story. This guy just happened to stumble into the wake of a deceased Vietnam soldier? His new z28 sitting outside? This is disturbing and ridiculous. I will never believe it...

every little town/community had a story like that 30-40 yrs ago... One or two of them may have been true.

Just want to clarify my issue with the block stamp has to do with the vin portion by the oil filter. Deck stamp looks good, transmission vin stamping is the font that I'm familiar with for early Norwood cars.
If the engine and transmission were stamped using different gang holders and characters at this time then I would be more comfortable with the stampings. Was this a known anomaly with Norwood cars built in this time frame?
The engine vin stamping looks like the later style used in 69.

Seems far fetched but who knows.

I thought the engine stamp and block vin stamp looks good, nice broach marks too. Can't figure the trans stamp with different font?

Great thread... and a good educational tool as well, for all the variations that we see are not always automatically dismissed these days.

That's progress!

There's no way the same gang stamp did both the engine and transmission

In the time frame of this cars build the trans VIN was not gang stamped...

The bell housing in the trunk has a Corvette clutch fork in it...

Hope this helps... Crash
