Quote: I think the 1B159 block looks ok but the three last numbers locks wrong.
I have a few more pictures if someone is intrested..
Owned in the 90`s by Ed Briggs.The car was restored 2002-2005 by 2 brothers in Fort Wayne,Indiana. Tom and Jeff Ruble. When the car was finished it was bought by Gary S,work/worked on Atlantamusclecars.Gary sold the car in 2006 to a guy in Romeo,Michigan.
One of those 2 items is a restamp, the fact that there are different fonts on at least one number tells you that the same tooling was not used. As Scott said they were stamped within minutes of each other by the same person with the same tool. ...
Unless of course it was UNION break time , the guy stamped the engine , put down the tool and someone else took the tool during break so the original guy had to go to the tool room and get a new stamp set and start over ....
Who knows,but that is probobly not what happened..
Lucky for me i will keep the car..But it had been good if i had all this VIN-stamp info back in 2008.But i was 20 years old then and you learn something new every day..
