How true. In the early 80's there was a 68 L88 that was in Houston, TX. This car had a funky "1" in the engine code stamp that should have been a "I". Most folks thought it was a restamp because of this wierd stamp and number. The "1" was stamped by hand and was a mess. Three years later another L88 showed up with the same funky "1" in place of the "I" in the engine code. The serial number of the car showed that is was built one car after the other L88. They built two in a row with the same defect. The cars verified each other.
