[Fran Blacker]

To the left of 426 wedge is a box Remarks with numbers. Where it says BROADCAST what is the letter below the B?

.. and make sure you select "full size" when you imbed the picture.

Original block is long gone, currently has a wild 70 HP motor

You replied before I could remove my comment. I remembered it right after I posted.

I’m new to this site, how can I post it where it can be viewed easier or better?

Take several shots, close-ups of the area in question. And a shot of the fender tag wouldn't hurt.....

Car's scheduled build date was November22nd, 1965...

When I mouse over that image is shows as .jpeg and I can copy/paste it just fine. But it still isn't clear, we need a close-up the the text in question.

It looks like a G VIN code Sales Code 62 Engine Assembly Code 180 model year 1966 B body 383-4bbl to me.
A higher resolution scan would be helpful.

That broadcast sheet has WH23G. The paper behind it has WH23H. Both have the same sequence number? What's up with that?

Thank you.

What does the second sheet look like? Is it more, or less, complete than this one?

If at the time of original Order, Requested by the Buyer, and the Factory had leftovers from the 1965 year models, why couldn't a '66 have come with a 426 Wedge ?

That’s what I’m trying to figure out, body numbers match, sequence numbers match, everything matches, except the motor code, and the build sheet says 426 WEDGE at the bottom

The second one is missing a bunch down the middle but more complete on the sides, don’t have any pictures of it at the moment

WH23 is a 2 door hardtop Coronet 500. I am not real familiar with 66 VINS, but I think engine code G is 383 2 bbl and engine code H is 383 4bbl. I am sure others on here know better. BUT, my question is what's up with the VINs with different engine codes but the same sequence number? What is actually on the serial number plate in the car's door jamb?

Isn't WH23H6 a Hemi Coronet 440 for '66?
Where did that VIN info come from?

For 66, G = 383-4bbl in a B body.
