Did they stamp vin on early blocks?

Yeah is a 63 dart gt my grandma bought off the lot in Los Angeles in 63. My great uncle bought it off her about 20 years later and after he passed i just happened to pull up to his house to help clean with just enough time to save it from the scrap yard. I paid the tow truck driver a $100 to unload it again.

Cool story. Post some pictures!
