What do you make of this? I can't tell for certain if they stamped the same number twice, or they whiffed on the car before this one.
Not that this is necessarily the case with yours as there were probably several reasons this could happen, but if a car, and they didn't care if it was a 6 cyl Skylark or a special ordered Stage 1, jammed the line for some reason, they had a big forklift & would remove the car from the line junkyard style & throw it in the dumpster & that car's engine/trans would get re-stamped put into another car. When the line stops, all hell breaks loose to get it started back up. I witnessed this first hand on a tour @ the Astro Van plant in the mid-90's & have been told stories of it @ Flint.
Thanks guy, that is kind of what I was thinking. The number placement seems like it fits that scenario, like they weren't trying to hide something.
