Oldsmobile did not start stamping a VIN derivative on the block and trans until the 1968 model year. Prior to that, there is no absolute proof that the car is "numbers matching" since there are no numbers to match. There IS anecdotal information, such as engine numbers and build dates that can show the parts in question are possibly the original part, but without the VIN derivative stamp there is no absolute proof.
