26th-Z Posted April 20, 2007 Share #15 Posted April 20, 2007 The number stampings are the same size, geezer. The blocks were stamped, evidently, with individual dies and they don't line up very well. I think that is what you are seeing. The firewall numbers usually line up much better. I'm surprised to see a VIN this high with a November manufacturing date. 26th is November. But I think she was pulled out of line for a new engine. Her engine # is 2338. 27th, on the other hand, is engine # 2162 and she is an October car.

=Enigma= Posted April 20, 2007 Share #19 Posted April 20, 2007 I think they're confusing the air pump with an AC unit since it's diaplayed so prominently. I can't see any other reason to show that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Beck Posted April 20, 2007 Share #20 Posted April 20, 2007 I think they're confusing the air pump with an AC unit since it's diaplayed so prominently. I can't see any other reason to show that.I agree. I don't see anything on the car that would indicate Dealer Installed A/C.I had #357 recorded for several years...as the seller said, first in N.C. in the Winston-Salem area, then later reported in N.Y.Is it possible that the Door and Engine Tags were simply stamped wrong at the Factory? Or perhaps the Vin's were stamped first into the Data Tags, then the wrong set was selected, stamped with the correct engine number and put in the car?So far we have no reports of #359 being Found... I wonder if the data tags on that car would show #357....Interesting car none the less...FWIW,Carl B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hls30.com Posted April 20, 2007 Share #21 Posted April 20, 2007 Someone hung an evaporator in the pass. footwell even though it apparently has nothing plumbed to it!WIll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblake01 Posted April 20, 2007 Share #22 Posted April 20, 2007 Looks like it has AC to me. Or at least, some of the parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Beck Posted April 20, 2007 Share #23 Posted April 20, 2007 Oh.. now I note the "Dryer" on the inner-fender....da...I ask the seller a question about the data tags - he assures me that it's just bad pictures and in fact the numbers are all 357. I suggested he take the engine data tag out - clean it - lay it flat and take new pictures. Also to take clear pictures of the drivers door jam data tag. We'll see what happens...FWIW,Carl B.
