What assembly plant built your car? It's common for a 1970 built at Van Nuys to have the partial VIN stamped vertically by the oil filter, not near the alternator.

She IS a Van Nuys baby.  I will start my hunt at the oil filter come spring when hibernation is over. Oil change will be one of the first things to do anyway, so I’ll bring more than a filter wrench when I roll under there. I’ll update accordingly.  Thanks Dan.

Better late than never. Everything lines up as it should. The “typo” on the POP vs. head stamping is surely just that... an error on someone’s point during the sales process. I’m a happy boy...

Nice going Glen!!!!    Feels great to know all match, right? Congrats!!!

Thanks!  Damn right it does. I’m skeptical by nature, so seeing everything with my own eyes removes any lingering doubt.

Yikes....Looking at your Protect-O-Plate, it seems like you have a CORDOBA!

(much more to worry about than a TYPO!, lol!)

Keeding! I am KEEDING! :)
