ahooah,

Thanks again for the info.

I also contacted the seller who just got back with the cast date on the block (5*26*69)

just for fun...

Frank (dstryr) has a serial number of 9A272929
a cast date of 5*15*69
a EAD of 6/4/69

The 383 bee has a serial number of 9A295300
a cast date of 5*26*69
a EAD of 6/12/69

Bill (1fastsixpack) has a serial number of 9A303025
a cast date of 5*22*69
a EAD of 6/13/69

The gaps between Frank (dstryr) and the 383 bee serial number is 22371, the cast gap is 11 days, and the EAD gap is 8 days.

Now compare the 383 bee to the later serial number of Bill's car (1fastsixpack)

The gap between the serial number is 7725 which is about 1/3 the gap found between Franks car (22371).

The gap in the cast dates is 4 days which is again around 1/3 the gap found between Franks car (11 days).

The gap in the EAD is only 1 day which is about 1/8 the gap found between Franks car.

Nothing earth shattering, just more info to consider.

Best regards,
Coop
