I have a 31 roadster that has an engine number of "KA 40240 CAL". Then right below that number on the same spot is "P8236". The KA could be AA as it looks like it could have been re-stamped but it looks like KA. The car was in AZ some 25 years ago and getting a new title now in KS is turning our to be a very big problem. I've searched high and low and can't find any reference to the "KA" prefix or "CAL" suffix. I also see the number is not near large enough to be built in 1931. Any suggestions other than it was restamped? If restamped....anybody ever see those letters before.
The body is off the frame but unfortunately....I'm not able to find/read the numbers on frame rail.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks
