Re: Fake Trim Tag?
Did they use the 388 block this late? I thought that the switch to 0010 occured in late March.

Re: Fake Trim Tag?
According to Jerry M's book...
3932386 May 1968-December 1968 3956618 December 1968-April 1969 3970010 April 1969-September 1969 3932388 December 1968-September 1969. Fairly rare casting. The casting date is located next to the casting number, behind the LEFT cylinder head. It appears that several of you know this to be a fake trim tag. Is it the 'fatter' text/characters that gives it away? I guess I'm not very good at identifying these tags. I keep comparing it to photos in Jerry M's book and the characters appear to be the only difference I can detect with my failing vision.  Rich

Re: Fake Trim Tag?
Repo tag for sure. I can't see the 041 heads being original either. The exhaust manifolds look wrong as well. Nice looking car but I would want a professional inspection done based on the trim tag and other items. And that d@m "Caution Fan" sticker!

Re: Fake Trim Tag?
Non-bleeder repop master cylinder, lack of deep groove alternator pulley, wrong exhaust manifolds, and list goes on and on and on.
Beautiful looking car but.... Rick H.
