1. Is that the original engine VIN stamp? I have never saw one like that.

2. Did Pontiac cast a framed area on the front of the block for placement of the VIN ID on '72's? I don't own a '72, so now I'm wondering!

The boxed recessed area, the spacing and alignment of the alpha/numeric VIN are not what I would expect to find. I'm pitching it out to you guys who own '72 TA's.

It's a pretty car, a little incorrect here & there, but who cares, still very nice. The question is...is it 40,000 dollars pretty?

If that is the original engine, I think it is. I wouldn't mind driving it.
