I have a 68 coupe. The vin number on body and vin number on engine match. The engine code is V0209ML. The engine is a 2bbl powerglide. I am coming up with different specs in books on what this engine is. Also the body plate show the car being assembled at code MOG. All the book and info i get says it should be NOR or LOS. The vin says Norwalk. Can someone explain why nothing is matching here?
Thanks

Post pictures of your VIN, the trim tag and the engine stamping and we can let you know.

I tried getting pics but cant get one clear enough of the block. The numbers on the block vin match the car vin so you know. Also they have not been restamped if you were wondering that. I did get a good pic of the body plate though. The numbers on the block are 18NXXXXXX V0209ML. THe vin number is 124378NXXXXXX. You can see the MOG on the body tag pic.
Okay i give up how do i post a pic?

I did click that. It goes to a windows messenger site and asks me for username and password.

I got it Lance. Thanks. First time I've ever seen this. Weird! I've seen other strange things on trim tags for other years, but this is the first one I've seen for 1968.
