Default Nolan Adams Book - 63-67 Restoration

Recently purchased the Nolan Adams book & happened to come across production numbers.

The car VIN which precedes mine is listed under the 396 section.
Would this serve to authenticate that my car is a true BB?


Were BB cars assembled in groups?


Any other information would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think that will give you a good indicator. I think cars rolled randomly. Engine size and body style were mixed. From what I understand.

No, it would not.

It would help indicate that your car could be a big block, but not that it is a big block.

You can look in that book and see that there is no order in the line. Coupe, vert, big block, small block, whatever the dealers are asking for.

Yep. Look at the pics and you will see the hood bulges on the BB. And right behind or in front SB hooded cars.
