Vin Number
My vin number is A2740786 ...on the title. when i looked it up it said dec.1929
the engine is AA3026688. that is a truck engine from mar 30.. Is the title number sound funny or were 1930 cars with that number really built in December of 1929? |

Re: Vin Number
If the car was assembled in January or February of 1930 it could very well have been assembled with an engine built in December of 1929. And that engine number would have been the number stamped on the frame and therefore entered on the title.

Re: Vin Number
It sounds like you have a replacement engine that is not original to the car...

Re: Vin Number
Steve Plucker has all the engine numbers and production dates. They can be viewed on his web site. Use the following link.
Model A Ford Restoration Guidelines and Judging Standards state that the assembly date for a vehicle may be as long as 3 months after the engine was produced (four months in 1931). http://www.plucks329s.org/pdf/studie...n%20Charts.pdf

Re: Vin Number
Marquitz--In 1934 the number was on either the trans case or the flywheel cover. Can't remember for sure which. email me at [email protected]. I might have what you need.
