Ok...so I know I have a low post count and I'm a typical newb asking for info but I'm trying to get the skinny on this El Camino. We were going to part it out a while back but things didn't work out. SO...now things are working out and we want this thing gone.
Thanks for the help in advance:

There's a 2 stamped over the top part of the B on BDY. I don't konw if this means anything or if it's a mis-stamp. Anyone who needs parts for a '74 El Camino, keep your eye open as we'll be posting stuff soon. _________________ 2 tons of 2nd gen class
The 2 hand stamped on the tag is just some inspection mark. No way of knowing why or for what reason. Probably to show a vehicle was checked for a assembly problem or some other quality control check. These are common.

0852 - truncated portion of the Data Processing Sequence Number. The broadcast system master record number for this vehicle. It was placed on the tag so plant workers could have something to cross reference back into the system when it came time to release the body onto the final assembly line. The body was built in another area of the complex and sent to a stagging area to be release to the final line under preset work load conditions.
Without the VIN I cannot determine what the engine was. _________________ Mike
