This is not a 1st gen question but I know that the folks up here have seen a lot of engine pads...here it is:
From a '73 Type LT camaro wiht the 4bbl configuration. I've never seen a partial VIN on top of the build date like this. since the plants moved away from stamping the partial VIN on the engine pad in '69 shouldn't a '73 have the partial VIN down by the oil filter? I know that a lot of things could happen on the assembly line so it is possible to end up like this but I want to know how probable
The stamping lines up with the car VIn has "K" code for 4bbl 350, and an AT...CKD works here.
car is built 07C and the build date on engine is "V0712"
the partial VIN of "(9)3055" matches the last of the VIN (the "9" is not very visible in the photo)
Any thoughts appreciated
