Kansas City Vin block stamping
Does anyone know why this plant stamped their big block vin numbers backwards? Was it because of a production necessity or ? See NCOA article included. Sorry I could not post it so I am going to type it.NCOA article July 27/1992 page 27 Tytle Correct Numbers
Dear Mark,
" I enjoyed your article on Block Busters written by Nick Brunt in Dec /91 Chevelle report,However I disagree with Nick.He says the enjine stamping T0106JE pictured on page 9 the bottom stamp is incorect.It is not.The I and J are definetly phony and not origional GM.
Also an intersting point about enjine stampings from the Kansas Cyti plant. They apparently had their own unique set of stamps and struck the (vin numbers only) upside down.
this article was sent in by Barry Berger Buffalo Grove IL.
I have also found 3 Candian documented cars with build sheets with the same upside down vin numbers one L78, one ls5, and one 350 HP 396 70 chevelles.
