Need Help, BE rear date

**neresto** · #1 10-27-2012, 01:53 PM

I know the first cars were delivered Dec. 68. Is BE 11 29 8 a known correct date?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

No it is not. The first two ZL1s had Nov '68 axles [and perhaps a Yenko] but not that date.

That calls it into question perhaps but does not rule it out. There isn't much hard data on the initial run of Yenkos.

Sorry guys, wrong date, it was covered in paint. It is actually BE 11 20 8.

If thats the rear at the Grove show, its a restamp.

Matt, I thought the same thing until I looked at it for the third time and found all of the E's stamped on the opposite axel tube. This is the same as other kk and bv rears that I have from the same time period. I think it threw everyone off because it's so early.

I believe you're thinking of the complete march dated rear that was fake...this is bare housing only.

Yeah the March one was the one I was talking about.
