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.

PW tranny is for a GP.

The block looks like it might have been ground on by the partial VIN.
It also looks like the stampings are too big for what they normally are.

Yep, here is the link to the ebay listing. Very stock, very original, numbers matching engine and trans...shoot me!

I'm looking for something definitive to rule this block in or out. I speak with an attorney on Monday
