[GrandpaKevin]

Are nice ones worth this much?

Is the VIN stamping correct?

The $6,500 is a little steep IMO.  Maybe @6bblgt  can make out the VIN?  If it came out of a T/A or AAR would the VIN be 271287?

271287: Isn't that a very low VIN for a T/A or AAR?
I recently bumped into an old ad of a T/A with VIN JH23J0B311287. And according to the ad this T/A has a period correct T/A engine, not a numbers matching engine.
What do you think?

0B271287 would've been a Plymouth e-body - the first 3-digits are unreadable so it is only a guess
it is before the first batch of production AARs by ~3,000 cars

some TA340 blocks were used during the 1971 model year, built up as "normal" 340 4bbl engines

the stamping on the front of the block would clarify this: FW340 (1970) VS. GW340 (1971) model years

Thanks!

Just a guess.. but the 7 before the last three digits looks nothing like the last digit seven, correct? looks like it may have been tampered with.

Seems this TA block is back on the radar. https://www.forebodiesonly.com/forum/threads/vin-311287-or-not.28813/

[6bblgt]

here's what I see    the 4th digit looks verticle more like a "1" VS a "7" with significant rust pitting & not round at all like an "8,9 or 0"

& the possibilities:
0B271287 - a non-AAR Barracuda
0B281287 - a Challenger scheduled 318 (possibly a T/A)
0B291287 - a Challenger scheduled 331 (possibly a T/A)
0B301287 - a Valiant
0B311287 - a T/A scheduled 417
0B321287 - a Valiant

@Arctoad  - do you have an original transmission for your car?
