Anyone know this car or Dealer?

[TDW]

Here are some numbers on the Nova

VIN..114270W228595
Trim Tag
70...11427WM178450
732...78..78
01B...A

Engine
T0918CTX
19W228595

Isn't that a Sept 69 engine date? And a second week of Jan car build date?

You are correct. On my Nova, the time between build date and engine date is only one week. In most cases the engine date will be within a month or so of the build date of the body.

Tony,
CTX looks good. 70 396/350 4spd. Assembled 9/18. Vin stamp is W for willow run. Vin on car and motor the same. Build week looks off. Could it be 10B rather than 01B. The rivot is near the date. They can be hard to read. Earl

[TDW]

Earl...It is for sure is 01B on the tag.

69 Yenko...are these the same numbers they gave you?

[69YENKO162]

Tony I got your PM They are the same #s as what I got.Way to much time 0918 to 1B. Its not right.

FAKE! The VIN code should be 10Wxxxxxx with the "0" being for the 1970 model year, not date. A "9" there would indicate a 1969 model. Something is screwy with that one.

Allen, you beat me to it. I was just scrolling down to the bottom of the thread to post that. Still a nice looking car, just don't pay for it being a numbers car. It does make you wonder what else is phony on it, though

[mmcporter]

That's what I love about this and other similar communities...information can really debunk fraud and "honest mistake" marketing of these cars.

Well, I called them the first thing this morning. Spoke to Jeff the sales guy. Explained the number situation to him. He said he would have Rolland the owner call me. Still waiting. Looks like it may be a long wait.I appreciate everyones responses here and the PMs.
