Is anyone aware of any irregularities in date codes on early '69 Muncies? Here's a pic of my (believed to be original) M21 in my '69 Z/28.
02D build date on the car, partial serial number is correct - what you can see of it. It looks like the month code is missing - I would expect it to be "P9A03B" perhaps; but it simply shows "P903B"?? ... Also, the "B" appears to be inverted?
I'm relatively confident this is the born-with transmission. I bought the car from older owners (long-time friends) who have had it since 1974. To their knowledge the transmission was never replaced (or they forgot); and if it was in the early days, did people bother to re-stamp back then? Nobody cared about numbers when these cars were nearly new...
As the car has a CE engine (replaced under warranty in '71); it's possible the transmission was replaced under warranty as well at some point.
Would there have been different date designations for warranty Muncies which may explain this?
Thanks in advance!
