thanx for the input-i should have got pics before i started this post. attached are some pics but i couldn`t get a clear pic of i.d pad. the car vin is js23n0e119229. the i`d pad reads f383. under that is says 10(oct) then a large space and then 312(31st oct) 2nd shift. at the bttom is says hp. the 4 speed has 0e119229-the 9 is stamped very lightly. pp833 3009 0288.

i know it`s a numbers car but it has blue under the orange on the block. galens book says blue for a 330 hp 383 n code.
is there anything out of place with the info or pics?
please let me know any thoughts people have-i doubt that it was rebuilt and painted blue and then painted orange in later years.
all the best
frank.
