Acquired a P9C14B Muncie M21 with a VIN ending 626230. Is for sale. Can bring to spring Carlisle.

BTW, it's a 386 block cast October of 68

I 100% agree that the first 3 VIN digits should be 565, not 655 by the date on the suffix pad, but I can't see anything that even resembles a 5 before the 6.

Here's a picture of what I " thought" was the last ' 1 ' and also, what I " thought" was a slightly twisted '1' between the 5's, but it could also be a 7, which is what I initially thought as well.

I don't know. The VIN stamping is hard to read all the numbers. Why they stamped it into a casting is beyond me. It looked to me like the number between the the 5's was a 1 with a flag and a base that was slightly rotated to the 12:30ish position instead of straight up and down. The last number looks to also be a 1 well past the last 5, but slightly lower. I have a microscope I use for finding errors on coins I collect that I can plug into my phone, I'll see if that helps solve this riddle...

Contact me if the owner wishes.

If anyone has the car this belongs to, contact me. I would love to see this end up back where it began life...

No, he had no history of the car. He got the engine from a friend of his, they were both circle track racers back in the day and apparently they used the high revving 302's pretty regularly.

I was lucky enough to be the one who got it...

It was freshly bored 060. Damage mentioned was very minimal, a 1/4" chunk taken out of the bottom of a cylinder from a rod that went south at some point in its past.  386 block, VIN is 561327 as noted.

Crank was a std/std 1178, nice set of used 060 TRW 2210's, but had small journal rods hung on them, so I'll need to replace those. Heads were wrong as well.  I will source the rest of the correctly dated parts that I don't already have in my inventory and put this thing together , then tuck it into a corner for a rainy day.

Tough to find a real one anymore. Especially at a decent price.

Donn was a very nice gentleman...we talked for a couple hours.
