Norwood only did that for a short time; the VIN was back to the pad shortly thereafter. The 'official' change was late December; however there are January built '69s with the VIN on the pad.

Also, at least 2 ZL1s built March '69 were VIN stamped on the pad.

I love buying cars like this. Stock engines do nothing for me, so there's no wasted money.
If it wasn't for ambitious previous owners like this guy that pulled the car apart in 1976, it would be another junker. Pic #11 shows the condition of the drivers window fuzzy.

Is the grille correct, or should it be silver ?

That engine stamp looks really bad to me, but that trans stamp looks good for the early font style Norwood used . FWIW.

I personally think the engine is a restamp (especially the vin) and trans is legit.
