Oh My God its Glacier Blue!
I Love Glacier Blue on a 69 Chevelle.
When the Car is restored to the nines,nothing can touch it,IMO.

13637=Malibu Body Style
Atl=Atlanta Lakewood Plant
209472=Body Number
TR 756=Black Vinyl Bucket seats
53=Glacier Blue Paint
LB=Lakewood internal code
01D=assembled Jan.4th week
T=Tonawanda
0312=March 12/1969 when engine was a running unit.
JD=L78 396/375HP (It should be a J,not the letter I)
Look for the last 6 digits of the Chevelles VIN# to be after the JD code on the engine block.This would normally mean a Numbers matching engine.Give or take.
Your Pictures do not show much,again without knowing more,$20-$25K max in current condition.
Is there a Buildsheet,Protecto-Plate,Window sticker,dealer invoice?

How could a March engine be numbers matching in a January car? What am I missing?

[Mr70]

It doesn't sound like it is the Original engine,but waiting to hear what James or the Dealers explanation for this is.
Check for a VIN# possibly down by the Oil filter too,for whatever car this is out of.

The dealer doesn't have any documentation on the car. I couldn't read the rest of the numbers on the engine pad. The car is about 300 miles from where I live. I will be back in the area next week and plan to check the car a little closer. Other than checking to see if the numbers on the engine pad match the vin number, what else should I look for? I just recently got back into the muscle car scene. I was into Chevelles back in the 70s and early 80s. Back then everyone didn't worry about numbers matching.
