It's unfortunate that many of the responses don't provide any insights as to authenticity of this engine pad.
The picture does not show any evidence of the broach marks. It may be that they are present, but not visible because the illumination is at the same angle as the camera. When photographing an engine pad, it helps if the lighting is off to the side so the broach marks are visible even if they are faint. But the real issue is the VIN derivative. If this car is a '67, the first letter should be a 7 - not an S as the picture shows. So, unless broach marks can be seen, there would be a total deduction for broach marks and for the stamping. Without knowing the car, I can't give an opinion on the engine assembly date.
Hope that helps!

Thank you. The car is very clean. I was hoping my long search for a real deal 427/435hp car was over but I'm getting discouraged by some of these replies.
I'm new to this and I've always loved the 67 427/435 hp red on black etc etc and I've been looking for a long time for a legit car. Previous owner said it's all legit and Keith biggers ncrs judged checked the car all out etc and said it was legit. So I'm getting mixed reviews

The most glaring error is the fact that the VIN number contains the letter "S". That group of characters should contain only numbers.
Still a great looking car though.

If you know this Keith biggers and you think he knows his stuff then go with what he says. It can be difficult at times to look at a picture of a vin number and tell if it's the real deal or not, except if there are letters there that should not be.

the trim tag does not tell you what engine came in the car. one thing all BB cars had there bodies assembled in house in ST. Louis. but sb were put in St. Louis bodies too.

The other owner said he inspected it and another judge at Kissimmee Florida where it received a top flight award. The car is in excellent condition inside and out. I'm just really confused at this point
