IMO - obviously if it is stamped MV and is original stamp, then it was installed and intended to be converted - ordered as a 68COPO Camaro - with the MM trim tag.
Based that stamp date the build date sounds correct for next to the last batch of 68COPO cars. Last batch was 07E trim tag build.
The VIN not in the registry is a mystery unless overlooked. The VIN should match a known 68 YENKO car, as the assumption is the motor was pulled at the dealer and sold off, while the 427 short block was installed. The other option might have been it was the car was sold off as a hipo 68 - like some of the late non converted cars that we know of. (there are 3 non converted cars that we know of uncovered today) All 07E builds.
Would be exciting to reunite this!
