No EUN or 20 preceding the NXXXXXX. The N is not lined up with the rest of the VIN. The VIN font doesn't look the same as others I have seen. I'm no expert, but the block has grooves in it where the VIN is stamped. I have seen this on another original VIN stampings. Seems that would be gone and the metal smooth if it's restamped. That would indicate that maybe it isn't a restamp but maybe a fresh stamp on a bare block aquired from a dealer as a SR block. Just guessing. But it is a pretty early date code for a SR block isn't it? And that would still mean it was misrepresented in the sale. If the factory didn't stamp it then it isn't #'s matching, period.
