1964 Chevelle Flint & Tonawanda Date/Suffix Stamps

Examples of engine assembly plant ID stamped codes and engine VIN derivative stampings where applicable. Listings are in chronological order by date, I6 and 283/327 small block engines. It's not unusual to find the letter "I" used in lieu of the number "1" on engine date stamps and it's not uncommon to find a mixture of both on the same stamp.

Note: The engine ID pad was not painted when the engine left the assembly line although it is often painted when engines are rebuilt during the course of their lifetime. Painting can also hide the factory broach marks on the pad making it difficult to determine if the block has been decked and numbers re-stamped.

VIN search disclaimer This Chevelle website is not designed to help you locate a car you owned 20-30 years ago. To my knowledge there is no known database of a car's VIN and its past/current owner. Such a public database would be a gross invasion of privacy. Law enforcement agencies can run a VIN in most cases to find the current owner but can only do so legally as part of any police action such as a suspected stolen car or one that has been in an accident to verify the owner. They CANNOT, legally, do a VIN search for personal reasons such as a favor to a friend.
