The Yenko Series II dude is back at it

The ad say the engine suffix code is V03902HB for what one would assume is March 2nd. Now maybe he has fat fingers and hit the 9 when he was typing the 0 but you never know. Can't be a September of 68 car since they didn't have X codes, could be a September of 69 car. Either way there is one to many numbers in the Assembly code.

Norwood quit placing the VIN on the engine pad around the first week of December 1968 because they had to move the alternator to do it. They replaced the pad stamp with the on above the oil filter on the rough casting. Easy to do with the engine not installed in the car, but almost impossible to see when installed in the car. They never moved it back up onto the pad after that date. Easiest way, besides not having broach marks on the pad, to ID a restamped engine is to have a partial VIN stamped on a Norwood built car made after December 68.

LA on the other hand, started and ended the year with partial VINs on the Pad, but shifted to the rough cast area for about 3 months.

For almost 31K I would expect a much closer to original car, no stripes, no ZL2, correct parts. Small block SS's aren't really worth the 30's yet, unless they still have the original air in the tires, and plastic still on the seats. It's probably a nice lower 20's car, that of course assumes the car is an SS and does have the original drive train.
