Suspect Rear End Stamping
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1966-67-N...053236499QQrdZ1
Stamping looks a little "Fishy"......See any lines from filing the old numbers off.....or am I being a little too suspicious..... Ken

Re: Suspect Rear End Stamping
Looks like the rest of the tube is pitted and that spot is smoothed out. There are lines there that could be a file or could be from something like a grinder with a heavy wire brush on it. If it was the latter the edges of the stamping should be rounded in the direction of the brush was spinning.
In short filed and stamped, I am not an expert on Nova rear stamps but that is my .02

Re: Suspect Rear End Stamping
I see what you see! Not shur what a 66 stamping looks like but I have seen alot of rear end stampings and don't remember seeing any marks like thows. By the way Ken nice meeting you at Vett Fest last weekend. Can't wait to see some of your other cars.
 Nice Nova

Re: Suspect Rear End Stamping
If you look close at the "patinna"(sp?) of the other numbers and letters, and the compare them to the clarity of the FP..the results are obvious. We need a new "smiley guy" with a sign that says:... <u>This Ebay Ad Sucks!!</u>

Re: Suspect Rear End Stamping
Wilma,
Here's another one we need: These codes are bogus! BTW, my vote is this is a restamp. If you look at the 0126G & E the stampings are irregular in depth and tend to trail off - normal. The FP however seems much deeper and does not vary in depth. When you add the scratches in this area, I think "THESE CODES ARE BOGUS"!  There, I did it.  Steve

Re: Suspect Rear End Stamping
The add below has a 67 L79 12-bolt stamp pictured.
It is correct and matches the one I have. The 66 should have the same style stamp. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Rare-12-B...1QQcmdZViewItem I would have to agree that the "FP" rear is a restamp.  Later, Eric
