Hello all. I am trying to find out if a 1970 chevelle ss 396 is real. The guy has two build sheets, protector plate, window sticker. I had him remove the dash to see the rivets holding the vin tag on to the dash. I saw rivets but not the flower looking rivets. I read an article that said you should be able to see the (roset) rivets on the dash. The vin tag also had a number in it. Can someone help.

Did you look for the rosette on the bottom or top?

I've seen the rivets on top, on bottom, and one of each. Whether it's a plant thing or worker thing...?

While it's always a good idea to verify the V.I.N. of a vehicle you want to buy -
There is nothing in the V.I.N. that tells you if it is indeed and SS 396 optioned vehicle.
Does the car have an original build sheet? Protect O Plate warranty booklet?
Is the original engine with legitimate plant and 'con-vin' stamps on the block??

Send me a picture of the build sheet and I'll tell you if it's real or fake.... :yes:
