Thoughts on this car for a project with my pops

No, it isn't because it is an impossibility. The VIN only appears in one place on a 1966 Mopar, the VIN plate in the door jamb. The number on the fender tag and radiator support is the Shipping Order Number. The two numbers can only be matched with a broadcast sheet or IBM card. The block will be stamped on the front under the left head, but that will not contain the car VIN, either.

BUT, congrats on the project.

Howdy Jim, thanks for that info. I am going to have to keep it in mind when seeing it in person, as I am unfamiliar with how the VIN and Shipping Order Numbers work. This car was described as "numbers matching" and "original engine" so I was kind of assuming it meant that the VIN must also be on the block somewhere. Sounds like they may not fully know how to describe it, so thanks for catching me up!
