I have a '58 Allstate with these stampings
It has a replacement LML engine

What serial number or VIN is this?

My question is
Is that a '58 VIN or LML engine VIN?

Where do you see the phantom VIN? Does the body have a VIN stamping somewhere?

That is not a VIN, it is the engine serial number only and this one does look sketchy, but who knows why?

Your AllState will have the legal VIN in the usual place under the left cowl that wasn't intended to match the engine serial number even on the original motor.
