68 was the first year that a vin would be required. In a recent post I was told after Jan 1 1968 all should have been stamped. In this same post it was also said some plants started earlier than others. Of the three 68 RR's I recently have had all were stamped and all were St Louis cars, but only one had a spd earlier than 1-1-68.

VIN May not be stamped.. If it is look here...
That's a #'s matching engine and auto trans. Man. tranny's weren't stamped on the bellhousing but on the machined pad on the R side of the tranny.
