Block stamping thoughts?

Tony heres the pad from the car you found me.

Notice how high the center of the W is pointed on mine vs the one at auction.... IMO it is a restamp.

Thanks! Yours looks much better! That pad is perfect!

I'm pretty sure the pad is real. I see those swirls, but they are from a sanding pad, IMO, not machining.
It compares very well, both VIN and engine stamps.

[Zedder]

Thanks Kurt. I was more concerned with the swirls than the stamps. I thought the vin stamping might be a little bigger than Normal too, but I don’t have a good comp.

Thanks guys. I have a message in with the seller asking to speak with him. One of the nicest 67 SS’s that I have seen advertised in a while.

Cool car and can't help but wonder what it was like before recent paint?
If Engine/Trans stamped w/ same gang, are the differences such as spacing between the L & 1 & 5 + font shapes of the 5's and first 8's also first 8 elevation @ bottom etc all just normal results of random hammer hits/loose letters in the gang/difference in materials being struck?

I spoke to the owner and he has pics of the car before paint for anyone interested. 3 owner car...all are alive can be contacted. Thinks the second owner scratched up the pad cleaning it up. Nice guy, nice car. Looking for north of $60k.

That's a nice looking 67, and it sounds great too. Sounds like it has more than 325 horse?
