I am looking at a 67 convertible 327-350hp. The vin # is 194677S106292 and the # on the engine pad is 7106291V1207HD. Should it read 7106292? Thanks for your help. Joe DeLuca Member 37862

Re: 1967 vin - engine pad #
Hi Joe It should match exactly but is very strange to be just a digit off.Another factory screwup? The HD indicates it should be a 4 speed with Air Injector Reactor. My car is 106702

Re: 1967 vin - engine pad #
Bob, Thanks for your reply.I thought that the both numbers should match. I guess it would be consider a non matching number car. I am not sure what that does to the value of the car. It is 1 number off. I really like the car, that's my only issue.Comment

Joe:
Did you get a picture of the pad? A build sheet would also be nice. If so, I would post it and get some opinions. Being just on number off would lead me to believe it is some sort of anomaly. It certainly from a "buyers standpoint" would be a non matching numbers car. However, it could be one of great interest to those in the know.
I had a 67 that I never understood. The hand written number on the build sheet (353) was one digit off of what was written behind the tank (354) and on the front passenger side. Go figure.
If you like it, buy it!Comment

Joe,
It's either a factory stamping error, or the block came from a donor car whose Vin Number was 6291. Unless the owner has documentation to prove that this is a factory stamping error, I would consider this as s "non-matching numbers car".

Look at the transmission stamp. stamped at the same time by the same stamp. If both the same, very likely a factory error. Any paperwork? Tank sticker to verfly options?Bill Clupper #618Comment

It most certainly would not be the first factory mis-stamp!Dick WhittingtonComment

Pat, I have some pictures in my email. If you send me your email adress I will send them to you. I do not know how to post them here. I am still feeling my way on the computer. I would like your opinion. I don't want to make a mistake buying a car. The car is a 327-350hp, 4 speed, pwr steering, has the hardtop. Thanks, JoeComment

Re: 1967 vin - engine pad #
I just received a email from the owner. He had pictures of the vin tag. It is 194077S106291. He is going to check the engine pad again tomorrow. I hope it matches! Thanks, Joe DeLucaComment

Re: 1967 vin - engine pad #
Joe, I replied to your email. I did get the three pictures you sent but I cannot get them to load onto the internet and I've tried 3 different places including here. I don't know what the problem is. PTComment

Re: 1967 vin - engine pad #
Joe,
Maybe we are looking at this backwards.
If the VIN plate says "91" and
The stamp pad says "91" and
The trans ends up showing "91"...
Then the question becomes: Where did the "92" come from?
Perhaps a confused owner or a typo on the Title?
Good Luck and keep us posted.
