'65 VIN font photos

[Tony S.]

I'm trying to evaluate the serial number stamping on a '65 engine stamping pad. I would appreciate any close up photos anyone would care to email to me to show how an original "1" should appear in a '65 serial number (VIN) stamping. I'm looking for original examples from the serial number stamping and not the assembly date stamping.

Help will be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Tony

Tim - Is yours a 327 ? If so, can you please e-mail it to me the stamp pad too. My 65 is 8847 and I would like to see a pad for a car close to mine.

Tony,

I assume this is for your big block 396??? If so here is a picture of the car that I am currently restoring. I can send you more if you need them.

Hope this helps.

Thanks James. No, it's actually for an L79 car built 3-31-65. I will probably be in Omaha later this Summer visiting in-laws. I'd enjoy coming by to see what you are working on.

Tony,

I have an unrestored/original '65 equipped with the L79 engine option. I'll get some picture of the stamp pad and send them to you.

67 L79, early car. Complete original drivetrain (even down to the rear pinion and ring gears).
