Obviously the "W" is a little weird, but everything else looks good... I have a 68' MX block, and it looks the same...

A W in the vin number stamp on the engine pad is Willow Run 1968 Nova. If its a MX code 396/350 4 speed very very rare.Not lots of 1968 Nova SS 396 cars made!

Did you look at the pic or just read the post ? The "W" is the MW code. The VIN has an "N" which is correct for a Camaro. Geez, don't confuse the guy... :D

From what I can see in the photo the pad looks ok...

I agree.

I am not an expert, but have seen a lot of block stampings.

I would say it looks good. If you look real close it appears the first time the W was stamped it was a little light. So they hit it harder the next time and that is probably why it is a slightly deeper stamping than the others. First stamping of the W (lighter W) was also a little high compared to the other characters.

The partial VIN also fits in well with the engine assembly date. I am guessing this is an 04D car on the cowl tag?

A question to further my education: It seems to me like the 6 and 2 at the end of the VIN kind of droop off low at the end? Is that OK? How would that happen in a gang stamp?

You can see the double hit of the top of the 2nd 2 peeking out to the high right...

Tim,

What is the asking price of the car?

Asking $40,000

Thanks Tim

I am not up on the price of big block convertibles. First impression was that was a little high for that car. But I could be wrong.

I don't like the VIN stamp. Not all uniform as a gang stamp should be.

I'd guess the 40K is AUS $ ....

Looks like a nice ride.

Tim,

Based on the label on this thread, you probably won't be getting many people to give opinions on the value of the car. If you want a LOT of opinions, post something in the What's it Worth Section.

You may be correct. I don't know.

40,000 AUD is about 35,000 USD.

$40000 US

Thanks Guys
