Engine matches 66 vin on the car, transmission does not. Still working on reading vin on frame.

Not easy to do, but a dental mirror at the right angle w/ a flash lite and reading upside down and reversed will give you your answer.

good luck !

Does the engine pad stamping appear legitimate? Even if it does, an engine could have been transferred from a wrecked 1966 to a stolen 1965. All sorts of things happened during the "old days".

What does a plant manager do with leftover parts not used in the new model year? Sending them to service parts is one way, but if service parts doesn't want them - like they already have enough of a low volume part - what's left? A final disposition can be to scrap them, but that can be a black mark on the plant manager for ordering too many parts. ...Duke

I think the reverse can be true, too w/ less consequences for Plant Management than "Over-orders"
My car is an example of one that was ordered with '67 redstripe tires.
Apparently they were not available (hadn't been ordered and/or if ordered, hadn't been stocked where they needed to be) about two weeks before the end of production (June 28, 1967).

White side walls were substituted and noted and signed off as a revision (RN 1583) as shown below
