Re: Engine Number No Stars
Well, I've got one with one star! (or maybe that's not a star at the end...) Actually, this is obviously a restamp, and not a very good one. You can see where a couple of the new numbers were whacked twice, and underneath portions of the old number that were not completely ground away. It will be very interesting to see what the frame number turns out to be once I get the body off. My operating assumption is that this is a replacement engine restamped to the original number, as the date of this number (January 1930) is consistent with the rest of the car. And it's the number on the title.
I'm not horribly concerned. This engine is one of the smoothest Model As I've ever driven.
