Re: 1972 LT-1 numbers questions
It strikes me that the "L" in the vin tag is unusually tall in relationship to the other digits. Also, on the pad stamping on the block, it's hard to tell with the paint on it, but the vin derivative stamping looks correct, but shallow. The assembly code is stamped with individual stamps rather than gang stamped.
So, IF the car was originally an LT-1, I believe the stamp pad has been altered to make it appear it was originally an ac car. My best bet is that it was not an LT-1 originally, but still has the original base-motor engine.
