Hi Kurt.  If you don't mind me asking...what's your history with the car?

Thanks everyone for the replies.  Steve, you have good eyes my friend!   After you mentioned additional numbers on the deck next to the partial VIN I went back and studied the picture again and I can actually make out a “26” pretty clearly.   I’m not sure what that means and why it is so faint but it’s definitely something to be suspect about.

Decoding/Numbers / 68 SS350 numbers help

« on: December 31, 2017, 06:53:19 PM »

Hi, I need some assistance.  I am looking to purchase a "numbers" matching very nice restored 68 SS350 car.  Based on research on this site I am seeing confusing information and would like some help.  The cowl tag date is stamped 07C which is 3rd week of July for the build however, the engine stamping is as follows:

Casting number 3914678 which seems to check out
18L348146  VII29MS - the first part matches the VIN of the car but the 1129 indicates a November 29th date which is far from the 3rd week of July date on the body.  The MS indicates the correct 295HP 350.  Could the engine date be this far off from the body build date?  Also, would that be November 29th of 67 or 68?  It's very confusing to me and would like some additional advice.  I have also attached pictures of the engine stamp and the cowl tag.  The VIN of the car is 124378L348146


Thanks in advance for any and all help!
