Some Missing stamp pad numbers/letters from the factory

[Anthony S.]

Members, has anyone ever discovered a situation where a car(s) came off the factory line with some missing
numbers/letters on the stamp pad? Or put another way, has anyone every seen any missing stamp pad numbers on otherwise
a factory car? E.g, some numbers are there and some are not; Date is present, but vin is not; Or vin is present and date is not; etc.

Thanks, Tony

NO & I don't believe any would have made it through inspection without the date/usage stamp at the engine plant nor a SN at the assembly plant. They say never say never but I'm just sayin.

Some are so faint that they're difficult to see after 40 years of wear and tear.

Post a picture.
