Given the VIN, it has a birthday of January 19, 1967. The VIN is stamped on the engine pad which is what you want to see. Obviously there are experts that can tell you if it’s been restamped. If you post higher resolution pics folks on this site will have. I shortage of opinions. Cant see the engine date code and suffix. Other numbers seem to support the correct dates.

Not necessarily higher resolution, just not so close up. All the dates you have shown are reasonable for your build. The trim tag will have the body build date on it also.

Pictures really hard to to glean info from. What I think I see is the following
photo 1 and 2 I206 and I think this is the same cylinder head on dip stick side, casting date, Sep 20, 1966
photo 3 I think reads 3904351 but the three middle numbers are not clear so I can't be sure if reading is correct
photo 4 block cast date of L106 or Dec 10, 1966
photo 5 shows the upper portion of what might be the passenger side C60 air conditioning duct
photo 6 of the engine stamp possible reads T0112IM but I am guessing
photo 7 is different angle of photo 4
assuming the above is right this is a L36 390 1x4BC, Spec.Cam, Hyd. Lifters, K19 & 4-Speed. If this is a help it is all I can give.
