The pic is from over on benzworld.org. It is from a 1984 W123 230 CE
What I think is interesting is that the re-stamped numbers begin and end with a stamped Mercedes stars and if you enlarge and look at the other pictures you see that the new stamping is lined up perfectly and the impressions are even.
Not at all how it would look if it was hand stamped by someone.
Besides on the windshield pillar where that aluminum tag is, are there any other place where the vin number would be stamped?
